To the extent that stainless steel contains minerals they would be there in extremely small amounts. Stainless steel is produced in such a way as to control its content. However, stainless steel may contain any of a number of other elements besides iron such as chrome, carbon, vanadium, tungsten and so on, depending on the purpose for which the steel is intended.

The stainless steels used for cutlery vary widely. In our cutlery drawer we have two varieties, one that is relatively easy to bend and shiny with a bluish colour, the other much harder to bend and dull grey. My point is that the extra elements in any given stainless steel spoon could be any of a variety of possibilities.

Can all elements on the periodic table be classified as metals or non metals Explain?

No, all elements on the periodic table cannot be classified as metals or non-metals. The periodic table includes metals, non-metals, and metalloids, which have properties of both metals and non-metals. Elements are classified based on their physical and chemical properties, such as conductivity, reactivity, and appearance.


What does 925 on a spoon mean?

The marking 925 on a spoon indicates that the spoon is made of sterling silver, which is an alloy containing 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals, typically copper. This marking is a standard for silverware and indicates the purity of the silver used in the spoon.


Why did copper in the solution plate the spoon and no the beaker?

Copper plated the spoon because it acted as the cathode in the electrochemical cell formed between the spoon and the copper solution. The beaker did not plate because it likely did not provide the necessary conditions for the reduction reaction to occur on its surface.


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.


If a spoon gets hot quickly when used to stir it is probably made of what?

The spoon is likely made of a good conductor of heat, such as metal. Metals like stainless steel and copper have high thermal conductivity, allowing them to quickly absorb heat when in contact with a hot substance.

Ca you make a circuit with a fork and spoon?

no you cannot because a fork and spoon are not electricity conductors. and without the conductors the circuit would not be complete My fork and spoon is stainless steel and will quite happly carry a charge. If the metals that my fork was made out of had a different reactance to my spoon and i dipped them into a diletric (say salt water or an acid) not only would the conduct electricity but they would generat it too since the two metals would have differeing potentials and could create a battery circuit.


Is a metal spoon a magnetic?

It depends on the type of metal used to make the spoon. Most normal stainless steel spoons are not magnetic, but spoons made of ferromagnetic metals like iron or steel can be magnetic.

Why does a metal spoon sounds like a bell?

we can distinguish metals and non metals using their properties.sonarity is one of a property of metals.sonarity means the metals which can make sound when beaten or throwed from a distance to ground.so this is the reason why a metal spoon sounds like a bell


What are some properties of mixed metals?
