Silver has fewer atoms. When energy is added, each atom of silver gets more energy than each atom of aluminum because there are fewer silver atoms in a kilogram. Because the energy per atom is greater, the temperature increases in the silver are also greater

As aluminum is conductor of heat, it also means that it loses heat faster. However, water is not a conductor of heat. Thus, aluminum loses heat faster

Why do aluminum foil melt butter faster than a spoon?

aluminum foil melt butter faster than a spoon because aluminum foil collects heat faster than a spoon


What boils water faster stainless steel or aluminum pans?

aluminum conducts heat better than stainless steel.


Does aluminum always be at a lower temperature than wood coming out of a refrigerator?

No, they are at exactly the same temperature. But aluminum is a heat conductor and so removes heat from your finger/hand/etc. faster than does wood which is a heat insulator; so the aluminum feels colder than the wood.


What metal conducts heat faster stainless steel or aluminum?

Aluminum. It has a higher value for thermal conductivity than stainless steels.


Does 1 meter of gold conduct heat faster than 1 meter of aluminum?

Yes


Why is it that sliver heats quicker than aluminum?

The specific heat of aluminium is more than 3.8 times that for silver.


Does a copper heat sink or an aluminum one with a base made of copper work any better than a pure aluminum one?

The thermal conductivity of copper is higher than that of aluminum, and silver is better than either copper or aluminum.


Does steel last longer than aluminum?

yes, aliminum dissapates heat quite rapidly, which is why aliminum is often used for heat sinks.


Does aluminum conduct cold faster than glass?

Aluminum is a conductor and glass is an insulator. Conductors allow the flow of energy transfer, but insulators block this transfer of energy. So by definition, Yes, aluminum conducts cold or heat(energy) transfer faster than glass.


Does a dark coloured tin heat up faster than a silver one?

If there is light on them the dark one will heat up faster because the dark one is absorbing light while the silver one is reflecting it away.


Why are kitchen pans are made of aluminum instead of silver?

Kitchen pans are made of aluminum rather than silver for several reasons. Aluminum, although reactive, does not react as strongly as silver does. Silver also has a much lower melting point than aluminum and is more expensive.


Which pot boils water the fastest?

Aluminum is less dense than steel, so has less mass per volume to absorb heat energy. For the same amount of heat energy put into the same volume of aluminum and steel, the aluminum will increase in temperature faster since there is less mass to heat up. This is also known as thermal inertia. Aluminum has less thermal inertia than steel.
