How Does Crisco Melt On Iron Faster Than Other Materials
My hypothesis was that the Crisco would melt on iron faster than the other materials because I thought iron would have the highest thermal conductivity. However, the result of this lab has proven that Crisco melts on copper before the other materials which means that copper has the highest thermal conductivity. The results also have shown that heat travels through different solids at different rates. For example, the time required for the Crisco to melt on the rod made of copper was nine minutes, brass was twelve minutes, iron needed fourteen minutes, glass needed 17 minutes. So glass has the lowest thermal conductivity and as our teacher explained that glass is an insulator. Copper is made from a lattice of ions with free electrons. The ions
