The melting point of PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) is around 327°C (620°F). At this temperature, PTFE transitions from a solid to a molten state.

The heat comes in the part were the core was and it melts


When a solid melts does its particles lose its heat energy?

No. They gain.


What are the properties of PTFE?

PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) is a synthetic fluoropolymer known for its unique properties like high chemical resistance, low friction coefficient, and high heat resistance (up to 260°C). It is also non-reactive to most chemicals and has excellent electrical insulation properties.


How much heat energy is absorbed when 171 g of ice melts?

To calculate the heat energy absorbed when 171 g of ice melts, we use the formula ( q = m \times L_f ), where ( L_f ) is the latent heat of fusion for ice, approximately 334 J/g. Therefore, the heat energy absorbed is ( q = 171 , \text{g} \times 334 , \text{J/g} = 57,054 , \text{J} ) or 57.1 kJ.


A 20.0 kg block of ice is sitting in a cooler. The temperature of the ice is 0.0 and ordmC when it is put into the cooler. As it melts how much heat does the block of ice absorb (Remember Hf of water?

To calculate the heat absorbed by the block of ice as it melts, we use the formula ( Q = m \cdot H_f ), where ( Q ) is the heat absorbed, ( m ) is the mass of the ice, and ( H_f ) is the heat of fusion of water. The heat of fusion (( H_f )) for water is approximately 334,000 J/kg. For a 20.0 kg block of ice, the heat absorbed during melting is ( Q = 20.0 , \text{kg} \times 334,000 , \text{J/kg} = 6,680,000 , \text{J} ). Therefore, the block of ice absorbs 6,680,000 joules of heat as it melts.
