Which conducts heat faster iron or brass?
Aluminium is a better conductor than brass, it heats up first! We did it in a science experiment, you can trust this answer!!
Why do aluminum foil melt butter faster than a spoon?
aluminum foil melt butter faster than a spoon because aluminum foil collects heat faster than a spoon
Do kitchen pots made from different materials transfer heat at different rates?
Yes. But there are two different qualities of heat transfer. When you talk about the rate of heat transfer, you may be talking about the speed the pot changes temperature or how well it spreads heat. The rate of temperature change is called thermal diffusivity. A copper pot would change temperature about 1.3X faster than an aluminum pot, and 10X faster than an iron pot. How well it spreads the heat is called thermal conductivity. A copper pot would spread the heat about 2X better than an aluminum pot and about 8X better than an iron pot. This is assuming the thickness of each pot is the same. The ability of heat to pass through the pot, is also thermal conductivity. For some things you'd want a pot that transfers heat evenly and quickly, copper. For other things you'd want a pot that holds the heat, iron.
What metal is the best conductor of heat aluminium iron or brass?
Aluminum have better thermal conductivity than ironAluminum: 205W/(m K)Iron: 80 W/(m K)
Adding copper or magnesium to aluminum creates an alloy that is?
stronger than aluminum

Does a copper heat sink or an aluminum one with a base made of copper work any better than a pure aluminum one?
The thermal conductivity of copper is higher than that of aluminum, and silver is better than either copper or aluminum.
Does aluminum heats up faster than copper?
no it does not
Why do aluminum foil melt butter faster than a spoon?
aluminum foil melt butter faster than a spoon because aluminum foil collects heat faster than a spoon
Why is a computer heat sink made of copper?
Heat sink/s are made of copper and also aluminum because of its ability to quickly absorb and cool down heat. Copper is better then aluminum when it comes to heat transfer, however copper is heavier then aluminum as well as being more expensive.
Does copper have a higher heat capacity than aluminum and iron and lead and zinc?
no
Is gold a thermal conductor?
Yes, it is. It is better than aluminum, but not as good as copper. Aluminum is often used in heat sinks, though, because it is cheaper than gold or copper.
Aluminum has a specific heat capacity more than twice that of copper Place equal masses of aluminum and copper wire in a flame and the one to undergo the fastest increase in temperature will be?
copper
Is gold a good thermal conductor?
Yes, it is. It is better than aluminum, but not as good as copper. Aluminum is often used in heat sinks, though, because it is cheaper than gold or copper.
Why utensils made of aluminum should be use instead of copper?
Copper and aluminum conduct heat quite a bit better than iron, so pans made of those metals generally get the heat to the food better. The thermal conductivity of copper is about 25% better than aluminum, and aluminum is about 3 times as good as iron, just to ball park the performance.
What boils water faster stainless steel or aluminum pans?
aluminum conducts heat better than stainless steel.
Does aluminum have lower resistance than copper?
No, aluminum has a higher resistance than copper.
