Hot objects

Burns caused by dry heat (e.g., by flames, hot objects, etc.). For slight bums in which the skin is not broken, apply tannic acid jelly ( Tannafax ), acriflavine jelly ( Bumol ) or butesin picrate ointment (butesin is re-butyl J aminobenzoate). 

Burns may arise from fire, hot objects/surfaces, radiant heat, very cold objects, electricity or friction. Scalds may arise from steam, hot water, hot vapour or hot or super-heated liquids. 

When a hot object, such as a crucible, is placed in a desiccator, about 5-10 seconds should elapse for the air to become heated and expand before putting the cover in place. When re-opening, the cover should be slid open very gradually in order to prevent any sudden inrush of air due to the partial vacuum which exists owing to the cooling of the expanded gas content of the desiccator, and thus prevent material being blown out of the crucible. 

The compd is fairly stable at room temp and is only slowly decompd by cold w. It reacts with hot w (70-75°), yielding CH3COOH, HCOOH and CH4. It is sol in org solvents explds violently when heated under confinement to about 125° bums quickly when unconfined and touches with a flame or hot object... 

For nineteenth-century scientists, the obvious way to account for the laws of black-body radiation was to use classical physics to derive its characteristics. However, much to their dismay, they found that the characteristics they deduced did not match their observations. Worst of all was the ultraviolet catastrophe classical physics predicted that any hot body should emit intense ultraviolet radiation and even x-rays and y-rays According to classical physics, a hot object would devastate the countryside with high-frequency radiation. Even a human body at 37°C would glow in the dark. There would, in fact, be no darkness. 

Thermal energy also can be transferred between objects. When a hot object is placed in contact with a cold object, thermal energy flows from the hot object to the cold object until the two reach the same temperature. At the molecular level, there Is a decrease in the average energy of the molecules in the hotter object, so its temperature decreases. There is a corresponding increase in the average energy of the molecules in the cooler object, so its... 

When a hot object contacts a cold object, heat always flows from higher to lower temperature. 

Hot objects will not appear to be hot. Be careful when handling the sand and water after heating. 

Strictly, a black body is defined as something that absorbs photons of all energies, and does not reflect light. Furthermore, a black body is also a perfect emitter of light. A black body is a theoretical object since, in practice, nothing behaves as a perfect black body. The best approximations are hot objects such as red- or white-hot metals. 

A desiccator provides a low humidity environment. Never place hot objects inside a desiccator since they may create a partial vacuum resulting in spilling the sample when the desiccator is opened. 

Normally, mass measurements are not made on hot objects. Waiting for an oven-dried soil sample to cool in air will have what effect on its mass ... 

I eat is energy that is being transferred from a hot object to a colder object. If you know how much heat a substance can absorb and hold, the amount of energy transferred between two substances can be determined. On a hot, sunny day, heat from the Sun might go into a cool glass of lemonade and melt the ice. On a cold winter day, heat may leave a hot cup of coffee and warm up the air around it. In this lab, specific heat is used to follow the flow of energy and to determine the temperature of a Bunsen burner flame. 

The study of the synthesis of atomic nuclei via nuclear reactions which proliferate in certain hot objects or violent astronomical events may well appear... 

Fuse A train of slow-burning powder (usually black powder), often covered with twine or twisted paper. Fuses are lit by a safety match or other hot object, and provide a time delay to permit the person igniting the device to retreat to a safe distance. 

If you have burnt your skin with a hot object (glass, metals, etc.), first apply a bandage wetted with an alcohol solution of tannin or a potassium permanganate solution, and then a greasy bandage (an ointment for burns). 

Since all the prescribed methods of defrosting are time-consuming, attempts to speed-up thawing such as by placing cartridges over open flames, or near stoves or hearth, or in contact with hot objects, such as steam pipes, were made, but they nearly always resulted in accidents... 

Although chronic types of pain may generally appear to have no purpose, acute pain acts as an important warning mechanism to the person by instructing the brain to remove the individual from that particular pain stimulus. If for example a person lifts a hot object, pain signals to the brain to put the object down to avoid severe burns.
