No. Cork is a type of wood and is therefore flammable. Even if it doesn't catch fire the hot plate could still burn it.

If you put water mercury mineral oil a cork a rubber stopper and lead in a graduated cylinder in what order would they be in from top to bottom?

From top to bottom, the order would be: cork, rubber stopper, mineral oil, water, mercury, and lead. This is based on the densities of the substances, with cork being the least dense and lead being the most dense.


Does hot charcoal ruin concrete?

Charcoal burns pretty hot, as things go. It might not be a good idea to leave it on concrete, at least not in a big pile. There is a problem with leaving a pile of burning charcoal on concrete. Concrete or any stone does not conduct heat really well. Sure, these materials get hot on hot days, and hold heat well. But if you heat concrete or stone or ceramic with a very hot source (charcoal burns at something on the order of 1100°C or 2000°F on contact, ball park), something called differential expansion breaks up the surface of the material being heated. Take a breath and read on. The intense heat from a source will cause localized expansion of material. And not enough heat will be conducted quickly into the underlying material to keep the difference in the expansion rates between the surface material and underlying material from breaking off tiny pieces at the surface of the material. Stone can actually be cut by "burning through" it with a hot source. The stone is not actually burned away, but differential thermal expansion nibbles it away, and a hot torch can cut stone (or concrete) in this way. If you spread burning charcoal out on concrete, you'll probably be okay. (Ash will insulate it a bit.) But it might not be a good idea to leave it in a pile.


What are the precautions heating liquids or solutions?

When heating liquids or solutions, it is important to use proper heating equipment such as a hot plate or heating mantle. Always use a heat-resistant container to prevent breakage and spills. Stir the liquid gently to ensure even heating and prevent superheating. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as heat-resistant gloves and safety goggles.

What will happen when a cold material interacts with a hot material?

When a cold material interacts with a hot material, heat will transfer from the hot material to the cold material until they reach thermal equilibrium. This will result in the hot material cooling down and the cold material heating up. The rate of heat transfer will depend on the temperature difference between the two materials and their thermal properties.

Frog on a hot plate analogy?

The 'frog on a hot plate' analogy refers to the idea that changes over time often go unnoticed if they are slow enough. The idea here is that a frog will not jump off a hot plate if it is heated slowly enough because the frog will not notice the plate is getting hotter. Even though this may not be true literally, it is often true in many other situations. Thus, the analogy has stuck.
