Why would water not be the best substance to use in a thermometer?
its rate of expansion is to great.
Which type of substance does convection occur best?
I would have thought it was air or water
What material is the best insalater?
A vacuum allows no conduction or convection of heat, but still allows radiative transfer. The radiative component may be blocked by a reflective film. Hence your vacuum flask has a silvered finish to the evacuated double-walled container. Even so. there will still be a small conduction of heat through the necessary thermal bridge at the neck of the flask.
A scientist has analyzed the chemicals that make of sample of an unknown substance Which chemicals would be the best indicator that the unknown substance is a plant?
Cellulose and starch
An unknown substance is added to a solution and the pH increases The substance is best described as what?
The unknown substance would have to be a basic solution. At least more basic than the initial solution. The pH scale ranges from 0,Most acidic, to 14, Most Basic. If the pH of your solution increases when the unknown substance is added, then it would lead you to believe that the added substance is of a basic nature.
What is a type of heat transfer that occurs best with solids?
conduction
Is a type of heat transfer that occurs best with solids.?
conduction
What type of heat transfer takes place best in a solid?
conduction
What does It mean when one substance is known to be better conductor of heat than another?
It has more free electrons in the outer energy band.
Why is vacuum the best thermal insulator?
Heat travels in 3 ways. Conduction, convection and radiation. Conduction is the transfer of heat through collision of particles. Convection is the transfer of heat through the movements of particles (ie. hot particle rises, cold particle sinks). Vacuum is made up of nothing (when there is no particle, it is vacuum), and so, it is unable to transfer heat through conduction and convection at all, making it the best thermal insulator
Which state of matter does conduction work the best?
Conduction works best with a solid.
Heat would best be transferred by conduction between?
A stove and a copper pot
What would best mask the taste of an oily substance?
Sarsaparilla syrup would best mask the taste of an oily substance.
What are three types of electric heating?
1. Conduction heat transfer is used in many heat transfer applicationsthat are experienced regularly. Heat is transferredby conduction from the hot electric burner on the cookstoveto the pan of water.2. Convection heat transfer is used to move heat from one locationto another by means of currents set up in a fluid medium.3. Radiation heat transfer can best be explained by using thesun as an example of the source.
When two objects are in contact what is heat best transferred by?
Conduction
What is a real world example for conduction?
As one of the railroad's best conductors, my grandfather was in charge of conduction.
Why does conduction work best in solids?
It would be wrong to state that condution does not occur in liquids but yes the solids are better conductors because of the presence of more number of free electrons especially in the case of metals and also because of their crystal lattice structure.
