Dropping a chunk of red hot copper in water will create a big hiss and the emission of steam from the container. The thermal energy of the copper will be transferred to the metal. The copper metal will cool rapidly and become brittle. If a copper wire is heated to a high temperature and quenched (cooled rapidly by immersion), it will harden and become less flexible than it was.

What happens when you heat anhydrous copper sulphate?
Copper sulfate is normally found in the form of blue crystals, copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate. When you heat copper sulfate pentahydrate it turns white as the water which is driven off by the heat. The white solid remaining is anhydrous copper sulfate. If you add water to the anhydrous copper sulfate an exothermic reaction occurs, you can feel the test-tube getting hot, as the blue copper sulfate pentahydrate is re-formed.
What happens when hydrogen reacts with copper oxide?
When hydrogen reacts with copper oxide, it reduces the copper oxide to form copper metal and water. This is a redox reaction where hydrogen acts as a reducing agent and copper oxide is oxidized. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is: 2H2 + CuO -> Cu + H2O.
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 temperature does copper become red hot?
copper's melting point is 1,083°C and its boiling point is 2,595°C just for fun A coin is usually, made of copper or a copper alloy. But the question was what temperature does it burn at - I'd like to know too - when copper is molten it's surface emits a blue flame, which is presumably burning copper, this happens as soon as it melts.
What is the reaction between copper and water?
Copper is multivalent but its most common valence is 2- so the equation should look like this: Cu (s) + H2O (l) ---> Cu(OH)2 (s) + H2 (g) Copper metal reacts with liquid water to form Copper Hydroxide and Hydrogen gas
Why is copper used for hot water pipes?
Copper is used as hot water pipes because the copper will not corrode when the hot water goes through the pipes
Why is copper used for water pipes?
Copper is used as hot water pipes because the copper will not corrode when the hot water goes through the pipes
What happens when an hot object is dropped by somebody?
it is still hot but lying on the ground! :D
How much copper is in a hot water heater?
"How much" as a question is quite vague. Some hot water heaters are comprised of copper only. So this now depends on the size of the hot water heater. Some hot water heaters have no copper whatsoever.
What happens when copper sulfate dissolves in cold water?
When copper sulfate dissolves in cold water, it forms a blue solution due to the formation of hydrated copper ions. The solubility of copper sulfate is slightly lower in cold water compared to hot water. The dissolution process is endothermic, meaning it absorbs heat from its surroundings.
How fast does copper dissolve in hot water?
depends on your definition of hot
What happens when copper sulphate is dissolved in water?
When copper sulfate is dissolved in water, it dissociates into copper ions (Cu2+) and sulfate ions (SO4 2-). This forms a blue-colored solution due to the presence of copper ions in the water. The solution can conduct electricity due to the presence of free ions.
Can i use copper-pipe installing hot water heating system?
Yes, copper piping is usually recommended for both hot and cold water systems.
What happens if the water is to hot?
when water is too hot then it evaporates
What is a metal used in hot water pipes?
Copper
Does a natural gas hot water tank have copper in it?
No.
What are copper kettles used for?
Copper kettles are used to heat water up on the stove. The copper kettles are used for tea, soup, oatmeal, hot chocolate, coffee, and other dishes that use hot water.
