Which metal melts on the palm of the hand?
Francium melts at about 80oF. Cesium melts at about 83.4oF. Gallium melts at about 85.6oF. All of these are solid at room temperature but would melt in your hand. Rubidium melts at about 103.4oF, so that is just a little higher than body temperature. Mercury melts at 37.7oF, so it would certainly melt in your hand, but it would already be a liquid at room temperature.
Does anything happen when you burn sand?
no it just melts no it just melts but it will stink
What will happen when you put ice in a warm soda?
The soda melts through the bottom of the cup causing whatever surface underit to catch fire. Do not try this at home.
Does hail go through the melting or sublimation stage?
Melting. Hail is made from water, and water must go under extreme conditions to sublimate. Instead, hail simply melts like ice.
If you freeze glue will it still be sticky?
No it will be frozen.After it melts it will.
What melts at a high temp conducts electricity and splits up when a current passes through it?
Sodium Chloride (salt)
Which element or compound melts at a high temperature conducts electricity when it is melted and splits up when a current passes through?
your mums dick
A fuse will melt if the?
A fuse is made with the material which offers high resistivity. When a large amount of electric current passes through the fuse, heat above the melting point of fuse is produced. Hence, the fuse melts.
How does a electrical fuse work?
it melts and breaks the circuit when current beyond its safe working limit passes through it . it can be of many types metallic , electrolytic .
What happens to snow when it passes through warm air?
it melts, and then comes to land as rain.
What safety device melts if the current is too large?
A electrical fuse fits that classification.
What is it when snow passes through warm air melts and refreezes near the ground?
You get ice pellets, colloquially known as sleet in the U.S.
What does snow become when it passes through warm air then melts then refreezes near the ground?
You get ice pellets, colloquially known as sleet in the US.
When a comet passes through the sun what happens to the ice?
Based on the fact that ice melts when heated, the comet's ice will melt when it even nears the sun.
What is a hypothesis stating how a fuse is used to prevent too much electric current from flowing through a circuit?
This would not be a hypothesis, but an explanation. A fuse is a piece of wire with a low melting point which melts if too much current flows in the circuit. It is designed to break before the rest of the circuit is damaged.
When dangerously high current flows through a thin strip of metal it melts and creates an open circuit and current stops flowing?
It's OK as a statement so the question mark can be deleted. <<>> This type of device is known as a fuse and it is the fuse's link that melts open.
What is found inside a fuse?
The essential component of a fuse is a metal strip that or wire that melts when too much current flows through it.
