When you boil water in a pot on the stove which heats faster the metal or the water?

Some metals do heat up faster than water, depending on the metal
But usually, the metal would heat up faster because it is a solid, and water takes a bit longer to absorb the heat, hence why the water in a pool is cold until around 12 am before getting to a regular tempature.

∙ 15y agoBecause water has a high "specific heat level". In short, it takes a lot of energy to raise the temperature of water there for it takes a long time and a lot of energy to raise water temps. Metal typically has a low "specific heat level" so it doesn't require much energy to raise or lower the temp so it happens much faster.

∙ 11y agoThe metal is the first thing to heat up and it heats up much more quickly, as the specific heat of metal is much lower than that of water. The water takes longer to heat up as it has a higher specific heat, meaning it can absorb much more energy (heat) before any real temperature change occurs.

Water is very resistant to changes in temperature, while metals in general are not. The specific heat of a substance is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of the substance by 1°C.

Wiki User
∙ 15y agoDepends on the heat capacity of the metal used. The water in the pot can only reach 100 degrees C (212 degrees F) but the pot can reach much greater heats.

What heats faster water or copper?
copper
Does metal rust faster in bottled water or lemon juice?
Metal rusts faster in lemon juice than it does in bottled water.
When water is in a pan over a flame why does the water get hot?
The flame heats up the metal pan because metal conducts heat well. Since the water is in the hot pan, it also gets hot.
Example of conductivity?
some examples of conduction are: 1.using a metal stove to cook food 2.making a glass blower's pipe 3.cooking on electric stove top 4.making a car radiator 5.closed circuit steam engine
How Boil water?
The correct way to boil water is to begin with cold water that has been placed in a pan. Place the pan on the stove at the highest heat setting so that the water heats and comes to a rapid boil.
What manipulated variable that heats up faster water or soil?
the water heats faster than soil.
What heats faster water or copper?
copper
What part of the earth heat faster water or land?
Land heats up faster than water.
Which heats faster?
The air heats faster than the water because water has a higher heat capacity. As a result water takes four times more heat energy as compared to air.
Does a tin pan heat water faster than a plastic pan?
Tin is a type of metal. Metal absorbs heat faster than plastic. Thos can be proven if u take a metal spoon and a plastic spoon into the sun. The metal one heats up faster. This is the same for everything else including pans..... hope this helped... XD
What can heat faster water or soil?
Water heats faster than soil
Why does water ice cubes melt faster than soda ice cubes?
because water heats up faster
Why does land heats and cools faster than water?
beacause its solid
Does the particles in water move faster when it heats up?
no it slows down!
Does land lose heat faster than water?
Soil is solid. Its molecules are close to one another so it heats faster. It also cools faster. Water is liquid. Molecules in liquids are farther apart so water heats more slowly............ Andre Ü
What heats the water?
Water gets heated in different ways in different places. Outdoors, sunlight heats water. In a house, water heaters usually run on natural gas. On a stove, it could be either gas or an electric coil.
Is the earth created evenly or unevenly?
unevenly,land heats faster and cools faster than water
