The heat required to break a padlock depends on its material and construction. Most padlocks are made of steel or hardened steel, which requires temperatures of around 1,500°F (815°C) or higher to weaken significantly. Applying such heat can also be dangerous and may cause fire hazards or release toxic fumes. It's generally advisable to use proper tools or methods for lock removal rather than attempting to break one with heat.

Why does decomposition need heat?

A decomposition reaction needs the addition of a catalyst or heat to proceed. For instance hydrogen peroxide will break down into water and oxygen gas in the presence of a catalyst; and calcium carbonate will break down into calcium oxide and carbon dioxide gas when heated.


If the heat capacity of an object is known what other information will need to be known to calculate its specific heat capacity?

By using the definition of "specific heat". You add a certain amount of heat, and see how much the temperature increases. You also need to measure the sample's mass. Then divide the amount of heat by (mass x temperature increase).


How much heat is needed to get a bolt out?

The heat needed to remove a bolt depends on factors such as the size of the bolt, the material it's made of, and the level of corrosion. Generally, applying a temperature of 300-600 degrees Fahrenheit with a heat source like a torch can help expand the metal and break the corrosion bond, making it easier to remove the bolt. It's important to use caution when applying heat to avoid damaging surrounding components.


If 30.86g of H2O is frozen (from liquid to solid) how much heat energy is required?

No heat (energy) is required to freeze water (from liquid to solid). Freezing RELEASES energy (heat), as it is an exothermic event. If you want to know how much energy is release, you need to know the heat of fusion for water, and then multiply that by the mass of water being frozen.


Do chemical reactions need heat to start them off?

Why water can hold so much heat?

Water has a high specific heat capacity due to its hydrogen bonding structure. This allows water to absorb and retain heat energy without large fluctuations in temperature. The hydrogen bonds need to break and reform, absorbing heat in the process, which contributes to water's ability to hold heat.


How can you open a masterlock without a key?

Master Lock offers a variety of padlocks, U-locks and combination locks. The standard way to open the Master Lock is to insert a key into the keyhole and turn it as you would any other lock. However, it's also possible for you to break open a Master Lock if you don't have the key. This method is good if you need to open the lock quickly, and picking the lock would take too long.Follows these instructions to open a master lock withou a key :1. Cut the metal loop off the lock with bolt cutters. Place the bolt cutters around the loop of the lock and apply pressure until the cutters break through the loop.2. Break a Master Lock U-lock with a hammer. Hit the loop of the lock directly at the curved portion of the loop. By hitting the right spot, the loop can be released from the body of the lock. This may take a few attempts to find the right spot.3. Break a combination lock with a screwdriver or shim. Pry the numerical dial off the front of the combination lock.
