What else can I help you with?
Are metals always solid?
Not at all. At room temperature ( around 22 degress C or 70 degrees F) most metals a solid however, some are liquid. The most common is Mercury, used in thermometers, which is a shiny silver liquid at room temperature. Another one is gallium, a rare metal that wil melt into a liquid in a warm room - or if you hold a piece in your hand. Francium is another metal with a very low melting point which can be a liquid in a warm room. However, francium is radioactive and exists only in very small quantities. All metals, however, can melt to form liquids if heated to a high enough temperature. Common ones that melt at relatively low temperatures are lead and tin. 'Wood's metal' - a mixture of metals such as lead, tin, antimony and bismuth, melts in hot water. In the practical joke UK TV programme 'Candid Camera' back in the 1960s, teaspoons in a cafe were made with Wood's metal. When customers stirred their coffee or tea, their spoons melted much to their disbelief and the audience's delight. Some metals have extremely high melting points. The 'king' is tungsten, which has a melting point well over 3000 degrees C - over half as hot as the surface of the sun, so liquid tungsten is a rarity. metals can also be gases. Mercury vapour is used in fluorescent lights. Mercury vapour is colourless and has no smell - but is extremely poisonous. Another answer No. All metals are liquid if you get them hot enough. Mercury is liquid at room temperature, but solidifies if you get it cold enough.
When equal amounts of salt dissolve in warm water room temperature water and ice water what is most likely the result?
Depending upon the equal amount of salt that is present, more will dissolve in warm than room temperature than cold, and the rate of dissolution will be faster for warm water than room temperature than cold.
What element remains solid in warm and remains liquid in cold temperatures?
There is no such element as this is physically possible. The liquid state is only achieved when the temperature has reached the melting point of the material. And, the melting point is, by definition, at a higher temperature than the freezing point. However, there are substances that are liquids in cold temperatures (many oils) as well as substances that are solids in warm temperatures (most metals); but this does not mean that the oils do not freeze and the metals do not melt.
What would happen to a block of ice if it was placed in a beaker and left in a room on a warm day?
If a block of ice is placed in a beaker and left in a warm room, it will begin to absorb heat from the surroundings. As the temperature of the ice rises, it will melt and transition from solid to liquid water. Eventually, the ice will completely transform into water, which may also warm up over time depending on the ambient temperature. The process will continue until thermal equilibrium is reached.
Is 87F warm or cold?
87 degrees Fahrenheit is generally considered warm. It is above room temperature and nearing hot in most climates.
What is the state of matter of cesium at room temperature?
Caesium is usually a solid, but it does have a low melting point, and that's 83 °F (28 °C). This means that if you had a vial of caesium in your hand, and you were in a warm room, the caesium would melt. Caesium is one of only five metals that is a liquid at or near room temperature. Wikipedia has additional information on caesium. You'll find a link to their post on this element just down below here.
Is capric acid solid at room temperature?
Unless your room is rather on the warm side, decanoic acid would be solid; it melts at about 31 degrees Celsius.
How warm is room temperature?
Room temperature is about 55 degrees
Are blueberry muffins better warm or room temperature?
Warm. With butter.
how can temprature affect the dissolving time of a solid?
If the temperature of the area the dissolving solid is in is warm, the air can make the dissolving solid warm too, and eventually completely dissolve the object.
How long can pee stay warm before it reaches room temperature?
Urine can stay warm for about 5-10 minutes before reaching room temperature, depending on factors like the initial temperature and the surrounding environment.
What is the best temperature for the growth of crystals cold warm or room temperature?
Well they way it changes is how the temperature forms
Do they warm footballs in green bay?
Yes They are heated to room temperature
If its not hot or cold what is it?
It could be considered tepid or room temperature.
Eyeballs feel warm?
kinda its more like room temperature but its more warm than cold
