The rate at which water freezes depends on the thermal conductivity of the container. Plastic is generally not very thermally conductive, whereas aluminum foil is more thermally conductive. Thus, as long as the foil is not very much thinner than the plastic, the water will freeze faster in the foil.

Which will melt first ice cube wrapped in black cloth or aluminium foil?

An ice cube wrapped in black cloth would probably melt first because the black cloth would be more conducive to absorbing heat from the surroundings while the aluminum foil would be more prone to reflecting it.


What metal is used with iron in therm-it process?

Iron oxide (rust) plus aluminum when ignited produces aluminum oxide plus molten iron.

No. The iron would melt, which is a physical change.


Which will melt first zinc or iron?

Zinc will melt first as it has a lower melting point compared to iron. Zinc melts at around 419 degrees Celsius, while iron melts at a much higher temperature of around 1538 degrees Celsius.

Could fire melt iron?

A fire could potentially melt iron. The fire would have to be extremely hot for a longer period of time.


Can you melt a broken drill bit in aluminum using sulfuric acid?

Sulfuric acid does not melt metal, it oxidizes it and dissolves it. Aluminum will react with sulfuric acid, but because of the protective coating of aluminum oxide the reaction is extremely slow.


Why can't we use aluminum for melting gold?

Aluminum has a lower melting point than gold, so it would melt before the gold does. This would make it difficult to separate the two metals based on their melting points. Additionally, aluminum can form alloys with gold, which can affect the purity of the final product.


Would an aluminum cup melt ice faster or would a fome cup melt ice faster?

If you put both near a fire the aluminum cup with ice would melt faster because more light energy and thermal energy would reach it when a fome cup would just sit there and absorb the heat and give little bits of heat of at different times. If you put it in the sun the aluminum cup would still burn better because it gets more sun light and lets in more heat.


Does cyanide melt iron?

Cyanide does not melt iron, as cyanide is a chemical that is typically used in liquid or gas form to interfere with the body's ability to use oxygen. It is not a substance that has the ability to melt iron.
