How can metal help us to close the fridge door?

Metal can be used to attach a small magnet to the fridge door and the fridge frame. The magnet will create a magnetic force that pulls the door closed when it is left slightly ajar. This is a simple and effective way to ensure the fridge door is properly closed to maintain the internal temperature and prevent food spoilage.

Using your knowledge of enzymes explain raw meat keeps longer in a refrigerator than in open airs?

because the warmer the temperature the faster the enzymes grow. Therefor if the raw meat is kept in the fridge then it slows down the process of the cells multiplying. Though, if you boil or get the enzyme to a certain high termperature the enzyme will not be able to cope and will simply die, though this can often depend on the infestation.

Out of butter cheese and fish which will be the coldest in a fridge?

In a typical refrigerator, fish would likely be the coldest out of butter, cheese, and fish. This is because fish is a highly perishable food item that needs to be stored at a consistently cold temperature to prevent bacterial growth. Butter and cheese can typically be stored at slightly higher temperatures without compromising their quality, although it is still important to follow recommended storage guidelines for optimal freshness.

How do electromagnets work in a fridge?

Electromagnets in a fridge work by using an electric current to create a magnetic field. This magnetic field attracts the metal armature on the fridge door, keeping it closed. When the electric current is turned off, the magnetic field dissipates, allowing the door to be opened. This mechanism ensures that the fridge door stays securely closed when not in use.

In what year did Maytag manufacture the rtd 1900 refrigerator?

That is BS that the serial number is needed to age an appliance. I don't know why that Appliance 411 site requires the serial number. If the serial number were needed to date a particular model, then these manufacturers would still be using the same model numbers over and over, which they don't. Just try plugging an old model number into a search engine, and all that will appear are sites for parts and blogs detailing problems. On the contrary, when you plug in a current model (within 2 years) you'll find the model still for sale.

What happens when you put blue tack in a fridge?

When blue tack is placed in a fridge, it becomes colder and therefore more rigid. Blue tack is a type of adhesive that relies on its malleability to stick to surfaces, so when it becomes colder and harder in the fridge, it may lose some of its stickiness and become less effective for adhering to surfaces. However, once it returns to room temperature, it should regain its original properties.

How much did a refrigerator cost in the 1800s?

They had ice houses for most of the 1800s, NOT refrigerators! An ice house was a small building built over a cold natural spring -- the spring, stones, and the earth kept foods cool (not frozen). By the late 1800s, a man on a wagon would drive through neighborhoods and sell large block ice. When people did get "refrigerators", it was literally the "ice box"-- they put a block of ice into a small square metal box (like a huge clunky bread box --bread boxes were used up through the 1980s). The Ice Box kept milk and cheese cold...meats went bad fast unless wrapped and stored atop or beside the ice and metal. Women and children ran out to stop the seller of ice--called a ice man or ice huckster, and the man would bring the ice block into the kitchen and into the ice box. (A huckster was any man who went by wagon through neighborhoods to sell goods and wares, ice, or fruits and vegetables. ) This went on in rural towns through the 1920s to 1930s. Refrigerators somewhat like what we think of today, powered and with a compressor did not come into homes until after that--if families could afford it. Remember, too, most homes did not have electricity even in the early 1900s. My grandmother, born 1912, often told me stories before she died about waiting with her mother for the ice man and other hucksters to come by.

Why are magnets placed in the doors of refrigerators?

he magnets keep the door shut and help to form an air tight seal between the door and the refrigerator.

Also many many years ago refrigerators did not close with magnets and typically closed using a latch. This caused a major problem, there were incidents in which someone would be throwing away a refrigerator and it would be sitting out at the end of there driveway for example. Neighborhood kids would be playing hide and seek and the old refrigerator looked like an appealing place to hide, what kids did not know was that the refrigerator when shut is air tight and that when latched it cant be open from the inside. There were incidents where kids suffocated hiding in old refrigerators. So there was a movement to make refrigerator doors sealable but without the use of a latch, and that is the other reason refrigerators use magnets to hold them shut.

What did the little girl say when she found her refrigerator empty?

Hi! I go to a school, and I got this question for math homework on a worksheet. My answer was OICURMT. I have no clue what it means though, sorry!

O.I.C.U.R.M.T.

Oh, I see you are empty!

How many watts does a 230 liter refrigerator use?

Look at the back of your fridge and find the plate that tells you how many amps it needs. Once you have Amps you multiply that number by the Volts coming out of your plug (usually 120v) and you will get Watts.

So once more:

Amps x Volts = Watts

How much electricity does your 120v 60 Hz 1.4A mini fridge use?

120 Volts multiplied by 1.4 Amps equals 168 Watts. This may be steady state current though so allow more for startup. Also the fridge probably does not have the pump running all of the time so figure the 'on' time compared to the 'off' time for a true average.

Why do foods kept in a refrigerator is lasts longer than food stored in cabinet . which involving chemistry?

refrigerators have a much lower temperature than that in a cabinet. microbes,for growth often needs a suitable temperature that is at around 25-30C.

hence, lower temperature slows or even sometimes stops the growth of microbes on food.

How long do you keep your alien in the fridge?

I don't have an alien, so I don't keep one in the fridge. It's important to remember that aliens are not real and should not be subject to any kind of confinement or mistreatment.

How long do you put a scardox alien in a fridge to make it have a baby?

listen put it in about15-20 min masage the head and pop there should be a baby

Which refrigerant decomposes at altitudes causing very little chlorine to reach the stratospheric ozone layer- CFCs- HFCs- Ammonia or HCFCs?

Ammonia decomposes at altitudes and does not contain chlorine, so it does not contribute to ozone depletion. This makes ammonia a more environmentally friendly refrigerant compared to CFCs, HCFCs, and HFCs which all contain chlorine or fluorine that can reach the stratospheric ozone layer.

Which document should you review prior to working with a specific refrigerant or chemical?

You should review the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for that refrigerant or chemical. It provides important information about its hazards, safe handling procedures, and emergency response measures.

Can gooey aliens have babies if you put them in the fridge?

Gooey aliens are not real, but in general, cooling substances, including living organisms, can slow down their metabolic processes and reproduction. Placing gooey aliens in the fridge might not be ideal for their overall health and well-being.

What stay hot even if put in a refrigerator?

Items like insulated containers, thermos flasks, or vacuum-sealed bottles can help keep beverages or food hot even when placed in a refrigerator. The insulated design helps to maintain the temperature of the contents by minimizing heat transfer with the surrounding environment.

What happens to bacteria at fridge temperature?

At fridge temperature (around 4°C), bacteria can still survive but their growth is significantly slowed down. Some bacteria may even go into a dormant state to conserve energy. However, it's important to note that not all bacteria are affected in the same way, and some may still grow slowly even in the fridge.

Is a refrigerator is an example of heat pump?

Yes, a refrigerator is an example of a heat pump. It transfers heat from the interior of the fridge to the surroundings, thus cooling the interior. This process involves the compression and expansion of refrigerant to move heat energy.

Why would a refrigerator become hot?

A refrigerator that's working normally becomes cold on the inside and hot on

at least part of the outside, usually somewhere in the back.

The refrigerator's job is to remove heat from the inside, where the food is stored.

When it does that, it must do something with the heat. It's usually built to dissipate

that heat from a series of tubes mounted on the back.

If it is hot inside the compartment, it is likely that the gas has leaked away and the compressor running hot as a result.

When adding more paper to a magnet on refrigerator why does it cause the magnet to fall off?

Adding more paper increases the distance between the magnet and the metal surface of the refrigerator. The farther the magnet is from the metal, the weaker the magnetic force holding it in place. This reduced magnetic force can cause the magnet to fall off.
