No, substances do not have to contain water to be heated in the microwave. The microwave oven uses electromagnetic waves to agitate the molecules in the substance being heated, causing them to generate heat regardless of their water content.
Serpentine is itself a category of Minerals. Minerals are not Rocks in that Minerals are homogenous (one substance) whereas Rocks are heterogenous (many substances). All Rocks contain Minerals in a fixed proportion. Serpentinite is a Metamorphic Rock made of Serpentine-Group Minerals pressed together at the bottom of the sea-floor and heated by magma. In order to be an Igneous Rock, a Rock has to itself be a form of crystallized magma, not merely heated by magma.
In fractional distillation, the substances in a mixture are heated to their boiling points. Different substances have different boiling points, so will be separated at different times. The answer to your question is simply because they have different boiling points.
Substances can be arranged in order of decreasing specific heat values based on their ability to absorb heat without a significant change in temperature. Generally, water has one of the highest specific heat values among common substances, followed by substances like ethanol, wood, and metals such as aluminum and iron. The specific heat varies widely among different materials, so the exact order will depend on the substances being compared.

Microwave ovens primarily heat water (they can heat metal as well, although that is not their purpose), therefore food must contain some moisture in order to be heated in a microwave oven. Dried food will not heat well.
Wendy's does not typically use microwave ovens for cooking their food items. Their focus is on fresh, made-to-order meals, with many items prepared using traditional cooking methods like grilling and frying. However, some pre-packaged items or sides may be heated in a microwave in certain locations, but this is not the norm for their main offerings.

Many organic molecules contain hydrogen atoms and are not considered acids. Specifically, when carbon is bonded to hydrogen, this is considered an organic bond. There are organic acids as well though. In order for a substance to be acidic, it needs to have ionic hydrogen present (i.e. H+).
Clay needs to be heated to a temperature of around 1,000 to 1,300 degrees Fahrenheit in order to harden.
No, hydrogen gas is not considered an organic substance. Organic substances are compounds that contain carbon and are typically found in living organisms. Hydrogen gas is a simple molecule composed of two hydrogen atoms and does not contain carbon.
It's generally safe to put a mobile phone near a microwave oven, as microwaves are designed to contain radiation within the oven. However, it's best to keep them at a reasonable distance to avoid any potential interference with the phone's signal or functionality. Additionally, if the microwave is malfunctioning or damaged, it could pose a risk. Always ensure that your appliances are in good working order for safety.
Baby food doesn't take long to heat up because it's such a small amount. In the microwave only about a minute or less (of course each microwave is different). But whether in the microwave or on the stove top, just heat it enough to be warm. You don't want it to be hot. Drop a bit of it on the inside of your wrist to check to see if it's too hot. If you're not sure, go ahead and try to serve it cold. Better safe than sorry.
The order these items were invented is this: bifocals - 1760 sewing machine - 1830 Light bulb - 1879 Air conditioning - 1902 microwave oven - 1945
Cells must contain chloroplasts, which are organelles that contain chlorophyll, in order to perform photosynthesis.
Gravity is not required in order to generate microwave radiation, but it sure helps keep the meatloaf down on the turntable while it's warming.
Yes, a microwave typically requires a dedicated circuit to operate safely and efficiently. This ensures that the microwave has enough power and does not overload the circuit, reducing the risk of electrical hazards.
