if the can is heated, sealed and placed in cold water, then the gas pressure inside the can will be greatly reduced by the cooling effect, and the atmospheric pressure outside will cause the can to crush.

The ice will crack and then melt as the energy from the hot water transfers to the molecules of the icecube, causing them to start moving faster and become liquid water.

What happens to the density of aluminum if you heat it?

it will melt


If the specific heat of aluminum is 0.902 and the specific heat of copper is 0.268 what makes copper a better choice to use for hot water lines in your house?

This means that copper will not absorb the heat from the water as much as the aluminum. Aluminum will "steal" more heat from the water- which you do not want. You need the heat to stay with the water until it serves its purpose.


What happens if you burn aluminum?

At the right amount of heat it will melt.


What happens when water evapourates?

When water evaporates cooling takes place because vapours starts absorbing the heat from the atmosphere.


Which would have higher temperature change water or aluminum?

Starting from the same temperature and for the same amount of heat input, aluminum would wind up with a higher temperature than water because water has a higher heat capacity (it takes more energy to raise its temperature) than aluminum.


What boils water faster stainless steel or aluminum pans?

aluminum conducts heat better than stainless steel.


What occurs when a 35-gram aluminum cube at 100C is placed in 90 grams of water at 25C in an insulated cup?

Heat if transferred from the aluminum to the water, and the temperature of the water increase


What happens when you add Al to cold HCL?

the aluminum will dissolve. Generating lots of heat during the reaction


What metals don't react with cold water?

If you heat up aluminum and then place it in cold water it can dissolve.


Why does silver heat up faster than aluminum?

Silver has fewer atoms. When energy is added, each atom of silver gets more energy than each atom of aluminum because there are fewer silver atoms in a kilogram. Because the energy per atom is greater, the temperature increases in the silver are also greater


Which pot boils water the fastest?

Aluminum is less dense than steel, so has less mass per volume to absorb heat energy. For the same amount of heat energy put into the same volume of aluminum and steel, the aluminum will increase in temperature faster since there is less mass to heat up. This is also known as thermal inertia. Aluminum has less thermal inertia than steel.
