The reason it takes longer for a kilogram of water than a kilogram of copper to reach the same temperature is because of the specific heat capacity of each. This is the amount of energy (heat) it takes to raise the temperature of one kilogram of material by 1 degree Kelvin or Celsius.

If you put somthing in water how long does it take to get to the waters temperature?

The temperature of the water and the something will reach an equillibrium somewhere between the two and eventually both will reach room temperature. Time depends on the temperature and mass of the something and the temperature and volume of the water.


When two bodies are on contact heat flows from the hotter body to the colder body when does heat stop flowing?

Heat will stop flowing between the two bodies when they reach thermal equilibrium, meaning they both reach the same temperature. At this point, there is no longer a temperature difference driving the heat transfer, so no more heat will flow between them.


When objects reach the same temperature and heat no longer flows between them?

This is when thermal equilibrium is reached, meaning there is no temperature difference between the objects and heat transfer stops. This occurs when the objects have come into contact long enough for their temperatures to balance out.


What is the coldest temperature that ice can reach?

The coldest temperature that ice can reach is -273.15 degrees Celsius, also known as absolute zero. At this temperature, all molecular motion stops, making it the lowest possible temperature.


What happens to convition current when the liquid or gas is no longer heated?

When the liquid or gas is no longer heated, the convection current slows down or stops completely. This is because the temperature difference that drives the movement of the fluid is no longer there. As a result, the fluid will eventually reach thermal equilibrium where there is no more heat transfer and the convection current will cease.

Aluminum has a specific heat capacity more than twice that of copper Place equal masses of aluminum and copper wire in a flame and the one to undergo the fastest increase in temperature will be?

The copper wire will undergo the fastest increase in temperature because it has a lower specific heat capacity compared to aluminum. This means copper can absorb heat more quickly and reach a higher temperature faster than aluminum when exposed to the same amount of heat.


Can wood be use to melt copper?

No, wood cannot be used to melt copper because the temperature required to melt copper (1,984°F or 1,085°C) is much higher than the ignition point of wood (around 572°F or 300°C). To melt copper, a heat source such as a furnace or a torch that can reach the required temperature must be used.


What will heat faster a copper pot or iron pot?

Copper heats up faster than iron due to its higher thermal conductivity. This means that a copper pot will reach a higher temperature more quickly when exposed to heat compared to an iron pot.


How hot is green flames?

Green flames typically indicate the presence of copper compounds, such as copper chloride. The temperature of green flames can vary, but they generally reach temperatures around 1,000 to 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit (538 to 649 degrees Celsius). The color of the flame is due to the excitation of copper ions rather than the temperature itself.

Comparing normal difficulties: Reach is longer


How long does it take to pre heat an oven in 180 degree Celsius?

A properly working oven will preheat to 180 degrees in 3 minutes. If the coil is old, it can take longer to reach that temperature. New convection ovens reach temperature in less time.


How can the copper be changed back into a solid?

Copper can be changed back into a solid by cooling it down, either by letting it reach ambient temperature or by using a cooling agent like water or liquid nitrogen to speed up the process. As copper cools down, its molecules slow and arrange themselves into a solid crystalline structure, resulting in the formation of a solid piece of copper.


What is the correct temperature to cook a stuffed turkey?

Roast a stuffed turkey at 325 Fahrenheit until a meat thermometer inserted into the breast registers 165 degrees. It will take longer to reach this temperature if the turkey is stuffed than if it is unstuffed.


When should you use a food or probe thermometer?

You measure food temperature when the food looks cooked. if it does not reach the temperature that it should then you will need to cook it for longer even though it is cooked on the outside. you can get sick from eating uner cooked food.

Would a small glass of water in the same room reach room temperature before a large glass of water?

No, the larger glass of water will take longer to reach room temperature compared to the small glass of water. This is because the larger volume of water has more molecules that need to gain or lose heat to reach equilibrium with the room temperature.


When two bodies are on contact heat flows from the hotter body to the colder body when does heat stop flowing?

Heat will stop flowing between the two bodies when they reach thermal equilibrium, meaning they both reach the same temperature. At this point, there is no longer a temperature difference driving the heat transfer, so no more heat will flow between them.
