Copper would heat up first because it has a higher heat capacity.


Does copper have a higher heat capacity than aluminum and iron and lead and zinc?

no


Which material can last the longest heat - copper or styrofoam or procelain?

Copper as it had large amout of free electron in it.


Why Styrofoam can be a best insulator?

It's not metal or copper like wires. Metal is an easy conductor of heat. Styrofoam isn't. Therefore making it an insulator. Answered by a fifth grade student

Is styrofoam a better insulator of heat than plastic?

Styrofoam is a better insulator of heat than plastic. The plastic allows the heat in and out and the cold in and out. The Styrofoam helps keep the heat in.


What is the capacity?

heat capicity is the amount of heat you have to apply to a substance to raise it's temperature. This is Measured in Joules per kilogram per degree celcius (or more accurately degrees kelvin). (J/kg/K). For example you have to apply a lot more heat to water than the same weight of copper to increase it's temperature so water has a higher heat capicity. It also takes a lot longer for water to cool down than copper this is also due to water's higher heat capacity.


Would it be better to have pots and pans made from material with a high specific heat capacity or low specific heat capacity?

Higher Heat


Substance A has a higher heat capacity than does substance B and substance B has a higher heat capacity than does substance C. If you add the same amount of heat to all three which order shows the pro?

c


Why the experimental value of specific heat capacity is higher than the standars value?

Experimental errors would cause the experimental value of specific heat capacity to be higher than the standard value.


Why does the ocean heat and cool more slowly than the atmosphere?

The ocean has a higher heat capacity.
