it takes 2 minutes for it to melt
10 grams of copper can kill you. But copper sulphate won't kill you. So don't freak out!
You need to know 2 things - what is the weight of the copper bar, and what are the dates on the pennies?The reason you need to know the dates is that pennies have very different amounts of copper in them depending on when they were made. Lincoln cents from 1909 till 1942, and from 1944 to the middle of 1982 were made of 95% copper and weighed 3.11 grams, so each one has 2.955 gm of copper in it. But pennies made from the middle of 1982 to the present are mostly zinc - they weigh 2.5 gm and are 2.5% copper, so the only contain 0.0625 gm of copper apiece.That means if you have modern (1983 and later) pennies, you'd need A LOT of them. Say the bar weighs 500 gm. You'd need 500 / 0.0625 = 8000 pennies ... plus you'd have to melt them down and separate the zinc from the copper first!
It depends entirely on what the initial temperature and volume of the water is and how much heat is applied.
One modern cent weighs 2.5 grams and contains 2.5% copper, which is 0.0625 grams or about 0.000138 lbs of copper per penny. To get one full pound of copper, it would take 7,246 pennies.
A lot of heat
iron melts at 1536 °C
The time it takes for copper to heat up depends on factors like its thickness, the heat source, and the starting temperature. Generally, copper has good thermal conductivity and can heat up relatively quickly compared to other materials.
Heat because Ice and water would thaw out and begin to heat up
They take them apart and then melt down the parts for lead and copper.
It would take approximately 334,000 Joules of heat to melt a 1 kg block of ice at 0 degrees Celsius. This energy is required to break the bonds holding the ice molecules together and transition from a solid to a liquid state, known as the heat of fusion.
The energy required to melt ice is known as the heat of fusion, which is about 334 joules per gram. Therefore, it would take approximately 3340 joules of energy to melt 10g of ice.
It varies based on how you melt it and how much chocolate you are melting with what heat amount. In the microwave, it will take 2 to 3 minutes (stirring at 30 second intervals). In a double-boiler method over medium-high heat, it should take 5 to 10 minutes.
The time to melt a block of ice depends on various factors such as temperature, heat source, and insulation. With a constant heat source, it could take several hours to a few days to melt a block of ice that size. The larger the surface area exposed to the heat source, the quicker the ice will melt.
The heat required to melt 2 kg of mercury can be calculated using its specific heat capacity (0.14 J/g°C) and its melting point (−38.83°C). The formula Q = mcΔT can be used to find the heat needed, where Q is the heat, m is the mass, c is the specific heat capacity, and ΔT is the change in temperature.
There are different kinds of sand, but one of the most common, quartz sand, has a specific heat of 830 (J/kg°C)
The time it takes for a one pound block of ice to melt depends on the temperature of its surroundings and the rate of heat transfer. In general, it can take anywhere from 45 minutes to a couple of hours for a one pound block of ice to melt at room temperature.
