No, Ice is a good insulator and copper is a very good conductor

Is copper more reactive than gold?

Even though gold and copper are in the same family, copper is much more reactive than gold. This is why Copper rusts more than gold, and why there are so many copper compounds (IE copper silicate...). Copper is higher in the family, giving it these characteristics.


Will a plastic or metal spoon make ice melt faster?

A metal spoon will generally make ice melt faster than a plastic spoon. This is because metal is a better conductor of heat, allowing it to transfer warmth from the surrounding environment to the ice more effectively. In contrast, plastic is an insulator and does not conduct heat well, resulting in slower melting of the ice. Therefore, using a metal spoon will accelerate the melting process.


Does news paper keep ice from melting?

Layers of newspaper can act as a primitive cooler if you wrap ice in them. The more newspaper, the better, but it won't keep it from melting as long as a styrofoam or plastic cooler would.


What rate will an ice cube melt in plastic wrap versus aluminum foil?

An ice cube will melt faster in plastic wrap compared to aluminum foil. This is because aluminum foil is a better conductor of heat, allowing heat to transfer more quickly to the ice cube. Plastic wrap is a poor conductor of heat, which slows down the melting process.


Ice melt faster in which type of cup.?

Ice will melt faster in a cup with a larger surface area because more of the ice is in direct contact with the surrounding air, which speeds up the melting process. A cup made of a material that conducts heat well, such as metal, can also cause ice to melt more quickly compared to a cup made of a material that is a poor conductor of heat, such as a foam cup.
