This is a matter of melting and freezing. When you touch the tray, the warmth from your finger quickly melts a bit of a ice and creates a thin layer of water between the tray and your finger. Since the tray is so cold, it quickly freezes that thing layer of water forming an icy bond between your finger and the tray.

Why does a metal spoon feel colder than a wooden spoon when its taken out of the refrigerator?

Metal is a better conductor of heat than wood, so it quickly transfers heat energy from your hand to the spoon, making it feel colder. The metal spoon also has a higher thermal conductivity, which means it can absorb and release heat more rapidly than a wooden spoon.


Why is a refrigerator a heat mover?

Because energy can't be taken away (except with fusion of atoms larger then iron, which is impractical for a refrigerator). This means the energy, the heat, has to be moved to another place for one place become lower in temperature.


What will happen to an inflated balloon if it is put in a refrigerator?

The volume of air inside the balloon will decrease as the temperature drops in the refrigerator, causing the balloon to slightly shrink. When the balloon is taken out of the refrigerator and warms up, the air inside will expand again and the balloon will return to its original size.


Why is an apple is taken out from a refrigerator and kept outside for sometime becomes wet with water?

When an apple is taken out from the refrigerator and placed outside, it undergoes a process called condensation. The cold apple coming into contact with the warmer air causes moisture in the air to condense on its surface, resulting in water droplets forming on the apple.


If you take a cold can of juice from the refrigerator on a hot day. Predict whether condensation or evaporation will take place on the outside of the can. Explain.?

Condensation will likely occur on the outside of the cold can when taken out from the refrigerator on a hot day. This is because the cold surface of the can will cause the water vapor present in the warmer air to cool down and condense into droplets on the can's surface.

Why your finger stick to a metal ice tray just taken from refrigerator?

When you touch a metal ice tray that has just been removed from the refrigerator, condensation forms on the surface causing your finger to stick. The moisture acts as a sort of adhesive, creating a temporary bond between your finger and the cold metal surface. This effect is due to the difference in temperature between the metal tray and your warm finger.


Reason why your finger sticks to a metal ice tray just taken from refrigirator?

Ya... have you noticed that if you touch a plastic tray this does not happen. They are both the same temperature but because metal is a good conductor of heat when you touch the metal tray it removes heat from your skin so fast that it actually creates a very thin film of ice between the surface of the tray and the moisture in your skin. This acts like a cement until it either thaws or you use enough force to break the bond

Why soda can is cold when taken out of refrigerator?

When the soda can is placed in the refrigerator, it absorbs the cold temperature of the surrounding air and cools down. This causes the can to feel cold to the touch when you take it out of the refrigerator.
