Whilst it’s still cold working from home, I’ll often use a hot water bottle to keep warm. I’m often curious if it’s better to fill it more or less and whether it makes any difference to the bottle staying warm. In consistent and matching conditions, would it make any difference how much water was put in the bottle, and why?
In: Chemistry
well, if you put more in, there is more total heat in the bottle.
But it has the same surface area, so losses heat at the same rate.
More Heat+same loss rate=stays hot longer.
