What else can I help you with?
Will heat travel faster through a glass cup or a plastic cup?
Heat will travel faster through a glass cup than a plastic cup because glass is a better conductor of heat than plastic. This means that heat will transfer more quickly through the glass, making it heat up or cool down faster compared to the plastic cup.
Can a glass water pipe get hot enough to melt plastic with a BIC lighter?
It is unlikely for a glass water pipe to get hot enough to melt plastic with just a BIC lighter. Glass has a high melting point and requires more intense heat to melt compared to plastic. However, caution should always be exercised when heating glass with a flame to avoid any potential damage or injury.
Can you heat up a plastic bottle?
Yes, you can heat a plastic bottle, but you have to be careful not to heat it too much because you can melt it, or even cause it to burst into flames. The safest technique is to heat it in a pot of water, and depending upon the type of plastic, you may not even want to bring the water to a boil.
Which container holds heat the longest using glass metal and plastic?
This depends on the construction of the container but if the constructions are identical (the walls are equally thick, etc) the metal container will loose heat fastest. Different "plastics" have differing coefficients of thermal conductivity and so whether they conduct heat better or worse than glass depends on which "plastic" is in use.
What cup cools hot water the fastest plastic foam glass and porcelain?
Glass cools hot water the fastest because it has better thermal conductivity compared to plastic foam or porcelain. This means that glass can absorb and dissipate heat more efficiently, leading to faster cooling of hot water when poured into a glass cup.
Is a bowl a insulator or a conductor?
A plastic bowl is an insulator.
For water in glass plastic or styrofoam cups - which will freeze fastest?
Assuming they are the same or similar shape and volume, water in glass would freeze first, then plastic then foam. Foam allows transfer of heat out of water more slowly than plastic and the glass probably has the highest rate of heat radiation of the three.
Steam a yam?
Very simple . Place yam(s) in a glass bowl and place clear plastic over bowl and heat for @2-4 min. == ==
What is the better conductor of heat glass or plastic?
Glass is a better conductor of heat compared to plastic. This means heat travels more easily through glass than plastic, allowing glass to heat up or cool down faster when in contact with a heat source or a cold surface.
Will heat travel faster through a glass cup or a plastic cup?
Heat will travel faster through a glass cup than a plastic cup because glass is a better conductor of heat than plastic. This means that heat will transfer more quickly through the glass, making it heat up or cool down faster compared to the plastic cup.
What type of cup keeps water warm the longest-plastic paper styrofoam or glass and why?
Styrofoam because it has a thick layer and is a good insulator.Paper and plastic are could alternatives but Styrofoam would work better, therefore glass would be the worst one to use because it would only keep it warm for a couple of minutes.
Why would ice alone melt faster in a glass container instead of a plastic container?
A glass container, because glass is a liquid that has the ability to form as a solid, while glass looks like a solid at a molecular level the atoms are actually moving, just like a liquid, the formation of glass molecules is highly irregular. But because the atoms are moving the energy or heat from water is allowed to escape past these molecules and cool the water.
How can I effectively use a glass bowl for a double boiler?
To effectively use a glass bowl for a double boiler, place the glass bowl over a pot of simmering water. Make sure the water does not touch the bottom of the bowl. This gentle heat will help melt ingredients like chocolate or butter without burning them. Stir occasionally for even melting.
Is glass a better conductor of heat than plastic?
Glass is generally a better conductor of heat than plastic, as it has a higher thermal conductivity. This means that heat can transfer through glass more easily and quickly than through plastic materials.
Which cup can hold heat better a plastic cup a coffee cup or a glass cup?
A glass cup will conduct heat away quickly - a plastic cup would hold heat the best.
Examples of bad conductor of heat?
Most things are not conductors of heat, or electricity. This means that the substances contain a large number of free electrons. Some of these are water, plastic, rubber, glass, lead, and wood.
What type of cup keeps water warm the longest-plastic paper styrofoam or glass and why results?
A glass cup would keep water warm the longest because glass is a good insulator and retains heat well compared to plastic, paper, or styrofoam which are poorer insulators. This is because glass has a lower thermal conductivity compared to the other materials, so heat escapes more slowly.
