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.
Think of a metal spoon in a pot of hot water. How do the particles of the water affect the particles of the spoon?
Conduction is what transfers the heat in this process. The fast moving particles in the hot electric coil collide with the slow-moving particles in the cool pot. The transfer of the heat causes the pot's particles to move faster. Then the pot's particles collide with the water's particles, which in turn collide with the particles of the spoon. As the particles move faster, the metal spoon becomes hotter.
Why would medel spoon be hotter in the boiling water then the wooden spoon?
Metal conducts heat better than wood, so a metal spoon will absorb heat more quickly from the boiling water, making it hotter to the touch. On the other hand, wood is a poor conductor of heat, so a wooden spoon will not get as hot as quickly in the same boiling water.
What will happen when you put a metal spoon in boiling water?
some water vapor released from boiling would condense on the cold spoon as water droplets.
Is it evaporation when a cold spoon is stuck into something hot?
No, evaporation is the process of liquid turning into vapor due to heat. When a cold spoon is stuck into something hot, heat will transfer from the hot substance to the cold spoon through conduction, causing the spoon to warm up.
Why the end of a spoon sticking out a cup oh hat water also get hot?
The spoon sticking out of a cup of hot water also gets hot because heat is transferred from the water to the metal spoon through conduction. The metal material of the spoon allows heat to flow easily, causing the temperature of the spoon to increase as it comes into contact with the hot water.
What kind of energy transfer occur in the spoon when you placed it in hot water?
When you place a spoon in hot water, heat energy is transferred from the water to the spoon by conduction. The molecules of the hot water have more kinetic energy than the cooler molecules in the spoon, so they transfer their energy to the spoon until both reach thermal equilibrium.
How does the particles of hot water affect the particles of a spoon?
The hot water would conduct its heat to the part of the medal spoon in the water.
A metal spoon becomes hot after being left in a pan of boiling water. This is an example of .?
Conduction of heat. When the spoon is left in the boiling water, the molecules in the hot water transfer kinetic energy to the metal spoon, causing its temperature to increase.
Look at figure 6-1 in your text Explain the transfer of energy in diagram and tell why the metal spoon gets hot?
part of the spoon is heated by contact with the hot water .heat is transferred through the metal spoon, particle by paricle, until the entire spoon is hot.
Why does a metal spoon feel hotter than a wooden spoon when in hot water?
Metal conducts heat better than wood, so the metal spoon quickly absorbs the heat from the hot water, making it feel hotter to the touch compared to the wooden spoon, which does not conduct heat as efficiently.
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.
Why does spoon get hot when it has been in a hot chocolate?
The heat from the hot chocolate transfers to the spoon, so the spoon heats up.
Why is your spoon hot after leaving it on the pot that was on the stove?
Heat is transferred into the metal spoon from the hot liquid, and it will soon be at the same temperature as the liquid because the spoon's heat capacity is quite small compared to the water surrounding it.
What are 3 examples conduction?
Well, not only three that i know... Keeping a spoon in a boiling pot of water and waiting 5 minuites and touching it again can burn your hand. the heat transfered from the water to the spoon and now the spoon in hot.
What causes your hand to be hot when you touch a spoon that is in boiling water?
Sensory nerves.
What is an exanple of conduction?
an example of conduction is a metal spoon in a cup of hot water...
