The Brass Rod can conduct more heat away from the paper than the Wooden Rod can in a given amount of time. So, by conducting more heat away, it keeps the paper below its ignition temperature for a longer period of time.

Does rubber shrink when heated?

Yes, rubber typically shrinks when heated because the heat causes the rubber molecules to contract and become more tightly packed together.


Why is it important to pack the sample tightly in the melting point capillary?

Packing the sample tightly in the melting point capillary ensures that the sample is in a uniform and compact shape, which leads to consistent and reliable melting point measurements. A tightly packed sample prevents air gaps or voids within the sample, which could affect the accuracy of the melting point determination.


Does glass heat up quickly?

Glass is a poor conductor of heat, so it does not heat up quickly. However, once it is heated, it retains heat well due to its low thermal conductivity.


Which way does a bimetal bend when heated?

When heated, a bimetal strip bends towards the side with the material that expands more quickly. This is because the faster-expanding material creates a greater force on that side, causing the strip to bend in that direction.


Why does a can collapse when heated and put in water?

A heated can has under gone superficial (areal) expansion and when cooled suddenly by immersing in water "shrinks" in a very "haphazard" way leading to collapse. Now the forces at action are thermal- the so called thermal stresses. Now there is another example of how a can could collapse. Water is poured into a can and and heated so that copious steam formed could escape through an opening and then after sometime this opening is closed tightly and the can is "bathed" in cold water. The can collapses. The forces unleashed are different in this case!

What do the word updraft mean in science for the tornadoes?

It is when heated air rises quickly.


Will aluminum foil keep things cooler?

yes, as long as it was cold before wrapped. It will also keep food warm to as long as it was heated before being wrapped as well. Just be sure to not put aluminum foil in the microwave!


When air is heated it becomes what?

When air is heated, it expands and becomes less dense. This causes its molecules to move more quickly, increasing the air's temperature.


What will happen if a glass of bottle filled with a liquid sealed tightly and heated?

If heated to and above boiling point the pressure in the bottle would begin to rise. Depending on how much it is heated it might either stay like that, or the increased pressure might cause the bottle to burst.


How does alcohol react to heat?

When alcohol is heated, it evaporates at a lower temperature than water. This means that when alcohol is heated, it will turn into vapor more quickly than water.


How can you safely and effectively cut a bottle using fire?

To safely and effectively cut a bottle using fire, you can heat a piece of string or wire wrapped around the bottle at the desired cutting point. Once the string is heated, quickly submerge the bottle in cold water. The sudden change in temperature will cause the bottle to break along the heated line. Remember to wear protective gear and handle the hot bottle carefully to avoid injury.


Why not clamp flasks and test tubes tightly?

Clamping flasks and test tubes tightly can lead to breakage or deformation of the glassware, which can be dangerous and can also affect the experimental results. It is important to use the appropriate clamps and holders designed for the specific type of glassware to secure them safely without causing damage.


Is it safe to refrigerate milk after it has been heated?

Yes, it is safe to refrigerate milk after it has been heated. It is important to cool it down quickly and store it in the refrigerator to prevent bacterial growth.


Can you refrigerate heated milk to use later?

Yes, you can refrigerate heated milk to use later, but it is recommended to cool it down quickly before refrigerating to prevent bacterial growth.
