because it the copper on the out side pulls in the heat and it lets it go slowly so it gets hot fast and stays hot for a long period of time.

Does copper wire conduct sound?

Since sound is the effect of vibrations in a media, copper can definitely conduct sound. However, as a wire it would have a certain damping factor, much a like spring, that would absorb the energy of sound vibrations. So a sheet of copper would conduct sound, but a thin wire would not.


Why molten sulfur can't conduct electricity but molten copper chloride can?

Molten sulfur consists of S8 molecules that do not have free-moving charge carriers, so they cannot conduct electricity. On the other hand, molten copper chloride dissociates into Cu+ and Cl- ions, which are free to move and carry electrical charge, making it capable of conducting electricity.


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.


Does copper have a higher specific heat than water?

The specific heat of water is 4184 J kg-1 K-1 The specific heat of copper 385 J kg-1 K-1. So the answer is no.


Why are the cooling coils at the back of refrigerator made of copper?

Copper is an excellent thermal conductor, which means it efficiently transfers heat. This makes it ideal for cooling coils in refrigerators to help dissipate heat generated during the refrigeration process, allowing the refrigerator to maintain its cool temperature. Additionally, copper is durable and resistant to corrosion, making it a suitable material for long-term use in this application.

Does argon gas conduct electricity and heat?

gases do not conduct heat or electricity well. metals conduct both well. but argon is a conductor


Why are fireplace pokers made of iron and not copper?

There are several reasons: * Iron is less malleable than copper so the tools can be thinner and lighter and still have the durability and strength needed * Iron has a higher melting point than copper * Iron does not conduct heat as well as copper so the handles of iron tools stay cooler longer * Iron is about a tenth the price of copper


Why is a car radiator made of aluminum?

The purpose of a radiator is to transfer heat from the engine to the atmosphere, so radiators need to be made of a material with a high heat transfer coefficient. Aluminum has a high heat transfer coefficient. In other words, aluminum conducts heat very well. There are other materials, such as copper, which conduct even better, but aluminum is more economical to use than copper.


Is lead conductor?

Lead has high resistivity of current. So , lead is not conduct current. But lead has low resistivity of heat and it conduct heat..


Why does copper conduct heat better than steel or brass?

Copper has a higher thermal conductivity than steel or brass due to its atomic structure. Copper's free electrons can move more easily, facilitating the transfer of heat energy. In contrast, steel and brass have fewer free electrons, causing them to be less efficient at conducting heat.


Is cotton clothing a conductor?

Short answer: No Long answer: I assume you are wondering this on a heat basis, rather than an electrical one. Things can be either conductors or insulators. Conductors conduct heat well, like copper, and insulators don't conduct heat, like cotton. This is due to the moleules being closer together, as in metal solids, which means the heat waves travelling through them do not diminish so quickly.


Is fabric insulator or conductor?

it's an insulator. conductors are things like metals or salts.

Why iron is not a good conductor of heat if it compair to copper?

Copper has relatively easily available electron as compare to the iron because copper has bigger atomic size than iron which means the shielding effect in copper is more than iron so the electron of copper can conduct heat more easily and efficiently as compare to the electron of the iron which make iron not a good conductor of heat if it is compair to copper.
