Either of those metals can be raised to any temperature you want, up to

its vaporization temperature, by sufficiently heating the container it's in.

Is is silver a better conductor than copper?

Silver is the best conducting metal, both thermally and electrically. It is followed by Copper, then Gold, then Aluminum.


Is silver wire a better conductor?

The best conductor of electricity is copper wire. Silver is a better conductor than copper, look up basic data. But silver is not practicable for widespread use, copper is nearly as good and more practicable for engineering use as well as cost.


Which is the best conductor among these gold silver copper or aluminum?

Silver is, then copper, then gold, and then aluminum. Copper is used for wiring because it is cheaper than silver. Aluminum is not used very much anymore because it can be dangerous when installed improperly.


Does a silver coin weigh more than a copper coin?

There's no specific relationship between them. Silver and copper were used for different denominations of coins so the amount of metal in them depended on the coins' denominations and the relative prices of the metals.For example, a bronze Lincoln cent (95% copper) weighed 3.11 gm but a silver Mercury dime (90% silver) weighed 2.5 gm. On the other hand a 90% silver dollar weighed about 26.7 gm.If you're referring to US coins of the same denomination, the answer is that the older silver coins weighed very slightly more than their clad counterparts. The two varieties are the same diameter and thickness so they're compatible in vending, counting, and sorting machines but silver, which made up 90% of a US coin's weight, is slightly denser than copper which currently makes up about 92%. Therefore a clad coin of the same dimensions will be slightly lighter.


Which coin is more conductive?

Silver is more conductive than copper, followed by gold. Silver has the highest electrical conductivity among all metals, making it a preferred choice in many electronic applications. Copper is more commonly used due to its balance of conductivity and cost-effectiveness. Gold, while less conductive than silver and copper, is preferred in certain applications due to its corrosion resistance.

Who is hotter silver or shadow?

I think that shadow is waaaaaaaaaayyyy hotter than silver.... but i do think silver is cute...but still shadow is way hotter!!!!!!! ^^)


What element is harder than gold but softer than copper?

Silver is harder than gold but softer than copper.


Is copper denser than silver?

Yes, silver is more dense than copper. Ag is 10.5 g/ml and Cu is 8.96 g/ml.


Is silver heavier then copper?

Silver is almost twice as heavy as copper.


Is copper harder than silver?

Yeah, mainly because it has a higher boiling point than Silver.


If copper displaces silver from silver nitrate will silver displace copper ll nitrate?

No, copper will not displace silver from silver nitrate and silver will not displace copper from copper nitrate. This is because the reactivity series dictates that silver is below copper, so copper can displace silver but not vice versa.


Is silver a better conductor of electricity than copper?

No, copper is a better conductor of electricity than silver. Copper has a lower electrical resistivity compared to silver, making it more efficient for conducting electricity. This is why copper is widely used in electrical wiring and transmission lines.


What happens if you put copper into silver sulfate?

Silver has a higher reduction potential than copper (ie silver "wants" to be in reduced form - metalic form - "more" than copper does). If silver METAL (Ag0) is added to a solution of CuSO4, nothing happens since silver is already reduced and it wants to stay that way.


What is Silver Nitrate plus copper?

When silver nitrate is added to copper, a redox reaction occurs where the Cu from copper displaces the Ag from silver nitrate. This results in the formation of copper nitrate and silver metal as a solid precipitate.


Which will rust faster Cooper or silver?

copper and silver dont rust. but copper tarnishes and so does silver. but copper will tarnish faster than silver. also, learn to spell please.


Why does a silver earring get hotter than the earlobe does when blow drying hair?

Silver being metal and having low specific heat gets hotter soon than fleshy earlobe.


Is silver more reactive than copper?

Suspend a copper wire in a solution of silver nitrate. Over the course of a few hours the silver nitrate will convert to copper II nitrate, turning the solution blue. Elemental silver will precipitate.
