Actually diamond is the best conductor of heat, and a diamond film substrate is used as a heat conductor in some microprocessors.

Silver and copper are the metals more commonly used as heat conductors because of cost.

How can one determine the heat of combustion for a given substance?

To determine the heat of combustion for a substance, one can conduct a calorimetry experiment where the substance is burned in a controlled environment and the heat released is measured. This heat release is then used to calculate the heat of combustion for the substance.


Why do spoons conduct heat?

Spoons conduct heat because they are made of metal, which is a good conductor of heat. When a hot substance comes into contact with the metal spoon, the heat quickly travels through the spoon and warms up the handle.


Do all objects equally conduct or absorb heat?

No. The ability to conduct heat (known as thermal conductivty) is a unique property of a substance. Metals, for instance, typically conduct heat better than nonmetals. But diamond is the best thermal conductor of all. The ability to absorb heat (known as specific heat) is likewise unique for different substances.

Substance which conduct electricity but not heat?

Graphite is an example of a substance that can conduct electricity but is a poor conductor of heat. This is because of its unique structure, where it has delocalized electrons that can move freely to conduct electricity, but the heat energy is not easily transferred through the material due to weak intermolecular forces.
