If the metal's temperature has equilibriated with the water, than the temperature of the system (water and metal) will be the same.

Is conduct heat metal or non metals?
i think it is metal
Do nonmetals have higher boiling points or lower boiling points?
Non-metals have lower boiling points than metals. A link can be found below.
Which can transfer more heat a cup of boiling water or a cup of tap water?
A cup of boiling water since it has higher temperature. Note that heat transfer depends more on the temperature.
What elements have luster and are good conductors of heat and electricity?
A metal has luster and conducts heat and electricity. Most of the elements are metals and plastic
How much will a metal pipe expand in heat?
This is different for different metals.
When is metal not a metal?
Metals have luster ,they are electric and heat conductors , moreover they have high melting and boiling points.This properties will distinguish it from nonmetals.
Metals are conductors of heat does this mean metal wont get hot?
Since metals are conductors of heat, that means heat can be transferred to the metal, thus the metal does get hot.
What is an example of transfer of heat through conduction?
Boiling a pot of water on the stove. The heat couldn't reach the water if it were not conducted through the metal pot.
Why does a metal spoon get hot in a pot of boiling water?
'nothing, it's like putting a spoon in a hot soup' Wrong ^ As the metal spoon is a better conductor of heat than the air the hot water (or soup) and the spoon as a larger surface area with the air (or active sight) it transfers heat to the surrounding faster, thus cooling the hot liquid faster.
What are the physical properties of element goups metal?
The physical properties of metals are luster, malleability, ductility, conductivity of heat and electricity, and high melting and boiling points.
Is conduct heat metal or non metals?
i think it is metal
Do nonmetals have higher boiling points or lower boiling points?
Non-metals have lower boiling points than metals. A link can be found below.
How to Take spring out of metal?
This depends on the metal, but for most metals, the answer is : heat the metal to red heat, then cool it slowly. This is called annealing. copper is one of the exceptions. To anneal it, get it red-hot then dunk it in cold water.
Why is mercury a conductor of heat but not water?
I think you are meaning HEAT -- and Mercury is a metal regardless that it is liquid - and most metals conduct heat (or electricity) better than water. Water absorbs heat a tremendous amount whereas metals conduct heat through themselves. Add: Mercury is actually a poor conductor of heat, but not as poor as water.
What are the special characteristic of metal and non metal?
Metals are often hard. They conduct both heat and electricity. They often have high densities, high melting points, and high boiling points. And always loose electrons when bonding. Non-metals are the opposite of all the above characteristics.
How will heat flow if an ice cube is dropped in boiling water?
Heat will flow from the boiling water into the ice cube.
What will be the flow of heat when you drop a block of ice in boiling water?
The heat will flow from the boiling water to the block of ice.
