How many minutes should I bake a cake?

Pan Size ~ The general rule of thumb when baking is "the bigger the pan, the lower the temperature". You bake a chocolate 9" round cake for about 30-35 minutes at 350 F. But, if you were putting the same recipe in a 14" pan you need to lower the temperature to 325 F for 50-55 minutes.

Can we use salt used for baking?

Table salt, sea salt and kosher salt can all be used for baking. But the volume varies between types and brands of salt. For example, 1 teaspoon of table salt is equal by weight to 1 ½ to 2 teaspoons of kosher salt, depending on the brand.

Can I heat salt?

When you HEAT salt (NaCl), it melts and then vaporizes. But these physical changes require very very high temperatures. When you INTRODUCE salt to a FLAME, you see a bright yellow coloration to the flame. This is due to excitation of electrons in sodium atoms (sodium ions or Na+ DO NOT have a 3s electrons).

Is Salt a good heat conductor?

Salt itself is not a good conductor of heat but solution of salt in water conducts heat. Salt water is a good conductor because it is an ionic compound. When dissolved, it breaks up into ions. The ions are then good charge carriers, which is what electricity needs.

Is Salt a poor conductor of electricity?

Dry salt is a poorest conductor of electricity. But, salt mixed with an aqua is most best conductor of electricity . Salt is made up of Na+ and Cl- ions.

At what temperature does salt become molten?

1474° F

Why does molten salt explode in water?

Basically, the molten salt is so hot that it superheats the relatively cool water, causing it to undergo a shockingly fast phase change from a liquid to a vapor. ... Once it turns into steam, the water rapidly expands and leads to the explosion.

Why don't we use molten salt reactors?

Such a reactor couldn't possibly suffer a meltdown, even in an accident: The molten salt core was liquid already. The fission-product heat would simply cause the salt mix to expand and move the fuel nuclei farther apart, which would dampen the chain reaction.
