Only metals with high melting points do not melt easily. Some like magnesium melt, but often burn soon after reaching the melting point.

Can you put hot water in a metal can?

Yes, you can put hot water in a metal can, but be cautious as the metal can conduct heat and the can may become hot to the touch. Make sure the metal can is designed to handle hot liquids and is sturdy enough to withstand the heat.


Does metal containers keep food hot?

Metal containers can help keep food hot by retaining heat better than other materials. Insulated metal containers, such as thermoses, are designed specifically to retain heat for longer periods of time. However, the effectiveness of a metal container in keeping food hot will also depend on factors like the type of metal, the insulation, and the initial temperature of the food.


Why is the pot heated on a stove which process causes the metal handle of the pot to also become hot?

The heat from the stove is transferred to the pot, causing the metal to get hot. Since the metal handle is connected to the pot, heat is also transferred to the handle through conduction, making it hot as well.


What color of melting metal is the least hot?

The least hot color of melting metal would be red, which indicates a temperature range of around 930-1200°F (500-650°C). Metal glows red when heated to these temperatures, and it is typically one of the first visible signs of heat.


Why is it required to tap the hot metal with a tissue paper before placing the hot metal in the calorimeter?

Tapping the hot metal with a tissue paper removes excess water or moisture on the surface, ensuring that only the thermal energy from the metal is transferred to the water in the calorimeter. This helps to prevent any additional heat transfer that may affect the accuracy of the calorimetry experiment.
