Why does a metal spoon handle gets hot in soup but a plastic spoon handle does not?
A metal spoon handle gets hot in soup because metal is a good conductor of heat, meaning it can easily transfer heat from the hot soup to the handle. On the other hand, plastic is a poor conductor of heat, so it does not easily transfer heat from the soup to the handle of a plastic spoon. This is why a metal spoon handle will feel hotter to the touch compared to a plastic spoon handle when used in hot soup.
When you stick a metal or plastic spoon in extreamely hot water which one will bend more?
The plastic spoon is more likely to bend in extremely hot water compared to a metal spoon. This is because plastic has a lower melting point than metal, which causes it to soften and deform more easily under high temperatures. Metal is generally more heat-resistant and maintains its shape better under extreme heat.
How does a metal spoon become hot when placed in a cup of hot coffee, demonstrating heat transfer by conduction?
When a metal spoon is placed in a cup of hot coffee, the heat from the coffee is transferred to the spoon through conduction. This means that the particles in the metal spoon start moving faster and colliding with each other, causing the spoon to become hot.
You are making soup and you put a metal spoon in the pot to stir the soup. You leave and when you come back to stir the soup the spoon is super hot. What term describes why the spoon is so hot?
Conduction. The metal of the spoon conducts heat - therefore it heats up.
Why does a metal spoon feel hotter than a wooden spoon when in hot water?
Metal conducts heat better than wood, so the metal spoon quickly absorbs the heat from the hot water, making it feel hotter to the touch compared to the wooden spoon, which does not conduct heat as efficiently.
Why doesn't a plastic spoon in hot chocolate hot?
plastic doesnt hold heat. unlike the spoon
Why would it be better to use a plastic spoon instead of a metal spoon to eat on a hot day?
Metal is a good conductor of heat. Plastic is a poor conductor of heat. On a hot day the plastic spoon may stop you scalding your mouth if it is left out in the sun.

Why doesn't a plastic spoon in your hot chocolate feel hot to your hand?
Because plastic isn't as good a conductor of heat as metal.

Why does a metal spoon kept in hot tea become hot?
The heat will transfer to the spoon (if metal).
Why does a metal spoon get hot in a pot of boiling water?
'nothing, it's like putting a spoon in a hot soup' Wrong ^ As the metal spoon is a better conductor of heat than the air the hot water (or soup) and the spoon as a larger surface area with the air (or active sight) it transfers heat to the surrounding faster, thus cooling the hot liquid faster.
When you touch a hot metal spoon what is the heat is transferred by?
yea

Why cant you stir hot soap with a metal spoon for a long time?
Stirring hot soap with a metal spoon for a long time can cause the metal spoon to heat up and potentially burn you. Additionally, the metal spoon can react with the soap ingredients, leading to contamination of the soap. It is safer to use a heat-resistant utensil, such as a silicone or wooden spoon, when working with hot soap.
Why does a metal spoon feel hotter than a wooden spoon when in hot water?
Metal conducts heat better than wood, so the metal spoon quickly absorbs the heat from the hot water, making it feel hotter to the touch compared to the wooden spoon, which does not conduct heat as efficiently.
