When a metal lid is run under hot water, the particles in the lid gain kinetic energy and vibrate more rapidly due to the increased temperature. This thermal expansion causes the metal to expand slightly, which can create a looser fit around the jar's opening. As a result, the lid may become easier to remove as the gap between the lid and jar increases.

What is metal in water?

If you are referring to any metal particles suspended in water I believe the term you are looking for is Colloidal. For example.... Colloidal Silver is silver particles suspended in water.


Think of a metal spoon in a pot of hot water. How do the particles of the water affect the particles of the spoon?

Conduction is what transfers the heat in this process. The fast moving particles in the hot electric coil collide with the slow-moving particles in the cool pot. The transfer of the heat causes the pot's particles to move faster. Then the pot's particles collide with the water's particles, which in turn collide with the particles of the spoon. As the particles move faster, the metal spoon becomes hotter.


What happens to the particles in a salt as they dissolve in water?

They become separated from one another and individually get surrounded by the water particles.


What happens to the pH of water when expose in air for a long time?

The oxygen particles combine with the metal minerals in the water (ex. magnesium and calcium). These oxygen particles oxidize the metals and the metals turn into metal oxides. And metal oxides dissolve in water to form bases. So in the end, the ph of the water would become more basic. If the original pH was 7 for example, it would probably turn to a pH of 8 (over a certain amount of time).
