You have placed a copper pot with water to heat on the stove. After one minute you place your finger in the water and you are okay. When you touch the pot your finger gets burned. Upload a drawing of a molecular view of what the copper atoms and water molecules look like at the beginning of heating the pot and after the pot has been heated for 15 mins.

Solutions

Expert Solution

Clearly, at t = 0, there is not enough heat to change temperature

water molecules are not that high on T, therefore, they move slowly.

The pot will start heating first, due to the contact with the heat source.

Note that copper is a good conductor of heat

it will icnrease its Temperature readily

From the diagram, initially, the molecules of wter move slowly,

the atoms of copper are near each other since they are compact, i.e. denser (not to sacale)

in the 15 mins later diagram

water has started to vaporize due to the kinetic energy / temperature of the molecules

Also, copper molecuels are far away since they started to expand
