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 happens when red hot copper is dropped in water?

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 is 3000 degrees Kelvin Temperature really mean?

A temperature of 3000 degrees Kelvin is quite hot. For reference, the surface of the sun is around 5800 Kelvin. At 3000 Kelvin, most materials would be glowing red-hot or even white-hot depending on their composition.


Why does copper change color when heated?

When copper is heated a colored coating is formed. This coating is called "scale", and consists of a thin layer of copper oxide on the surface of the copper. Depending on the thickness of the layer and its temperature, the scale can be some very interesting colors, such as red, blue, brown, and pink, and at higher temperatures, black. The effect is quite noticeable on soldering irons with copper tips.


What does copper and oxgyen make?

Copper oxide, which is a compound from the two elements copper and oxygen. When copper is exposed to oxygen for a long period of time, it begins turning green. The green is Copper oxide.Copper oxide can refer toCopper(I) oxide (cuprous oxide, Cu2O), a red powder;Copper(II) oxide (cupric oxide, CuO), a black powder. (Source wikipedia)

What color is normally associated with hot temperature?

The color red is often associated with hot temperature because it is reminiscent of fire and heat. Red is also believed to stimulate energy and increase body temperature perception.


How hot is 800 degrees celsius?

The temperature 800°C (which is the same as 1472°F) is much hotter than the temperature of molten lead or zinc, but not hot enough to melt copper, gold, or silver. The red part of a candle flame is about 800°C, while the blue part is hotter (1400°C).


What is the temperature of red and white hot iron?

Why does a red star shine red?

Stars emit light because they are hot. When a hot object glows the color of light it emits depends on the temperature. The higher the temperature, the shorter the wavelength of light. The shortest wavelength of visible light is red Therefore the stars with the lowest temperature glow red.
