What else can I help you with?
Are phase changes in matter permanent?
No, phase changes in matter are not permanent. They can be reversed by providing or removing energy (such as heat) to the substance. For example, ice can melt into water when heat is applied, and the water can freeze back into ice when it is cooled.
Why is ice a good cooling agent?
because the ice can cool you down and its frozen and frozen things are cool and because ice has the ability to absorb more heat energy than water in scientific terms ice has a large latent heat of fusion which makes it a better cooling agent than water
Why does ice melt faster on foil?
Ice melts faster on foil because aluminum foil is a good conductor of heat. When ice is placed on foil, heat from the surrounding environment is quickly transferred to the ice, raising its temperature and causing it to melt more rapidly. Additionally, the smooth surface of foil allows for better contact and heat transfer compared to other materials, enhancing the melting process.
How much energy does it take to melt ice?
Heat because Ice and water would thaw out and begin to heat up
Which will melt faster an ice cube in a closed container or open container?
In an open container because the warm air can melt the ice faster.
Is ice or heat better for soreness?
Ice
Is ice or heat better for cold sores?
Ice use is better for cold sores.
Does sand melt ice?
Sand abosorbs light better then ice. So the heat melts the ice.
Where does the heat go when water changes to ice?
The heat goes back to air
Should you put heat or ice on a pinched nerve?
Heat, anti-inflammatories, and a muscle relaxer if you've got it. Like pinched nerves in the back (from disk herniations), a lot of the real pain from pinched neck nerves (which can indicate a disk problem in the cervical spine as well) comes from the muscles spasms caused by the nerve being compressed. Heat helps loosen the muscles, and allows for increased blood flow to the area to heal. If you do use cold (it does help some people, but it can irritate already sensitive nerves) use it for short periods, then add heat. What it boils down to is that the combination reduces the inflammation, relaxes the muscle spasms, and increases blood flow to promote faster healing.
Is ice or heat better for a sore heel?
Applying ice is generally better for reducing inflammation and pain in a sore heel. Heat may feel good temporarily, but it can potentially worsen the inflammation. It's recommended to ice the heel for about 15-20 minutes at a time, several times a day.
Is ice or heat better for a tooth abscess?
if your intention is to drain the abscess, heat. for pain relief, cold.
Does ice melt faster on metal or plastic?
Ice melts faster on metal because metal is a good conductor of heat, allowing heat energy to transfer quickly to the ice. Plastic is a poor conductor of heat, so it retains heat better and slows down the melting process of ice.
Do you put ice or heat for swelling on my arm?
I think you will be better off using a cream and ice! ( that's my opinion )
Why you need to apply heat or ice to the patient with low back pain?
Use ice for injuries to calm down any damaged tissues that are inflamed or swollen. Use heat for sore muscles, chronic pain and stress.
What is the best treatment for muscle spasms?
Muscle spasms occur when a muscle is torn or overstretched. It starts with a muscle strain, known as a pulled muscle. The strains usually heal with time but if the pain is unbearable, patients may need to take pain medication along with applying ice or heat to relieve the pain.
How does ice affect incoming sunlight?
clean ice reflects sunlight back into space and prevents heat buidup on ice, dirty ice has the opposite affect
