Metal ice-cube tray and a plastic tub of ice cream are sitting in the freezer Why does the ice-cube tray feel colder to touch than the tub of ice cream?
The metal tray has both a higher specific heat (ability to gain or hold heat) and a higher conductivity (ability to transfer heat). So while the ice cream will increase in temperature where you touch it (and hence only absorb a small amount of body heat), the tray can absorb more heat, and transfer it to all of the metal and ice in the tray.
(This is also why you can lick a wooden pole in the winter, but not a metal one!)

Does a freezer temperature get warmer if the dial is on a higher number or colder?

Are plastic freezer drawers better than metal?
Plastic freezer drawers are typically better than metal because they are more flexible and less likely to rust or corrode. They also tend to be less expensive and easier to clean. However, metal freezer drawers may be more durable and provide better insulation to keep items colder for longer periods.
Will dry ice keep longer in a freezer?
Dry ice will sublimate faster in a freezer compared to an insulated cooler because the freezer is colder and typically has better air circulation. However, a freezer can still help extend the lifespan of dry ice if properly sealed in an airtight container and placed in the back where it is coldest.
Why do ice cubes melt into a glob in the freezer?
Ice cubes melt into a glob in the freezer due to the temperature fluctuations within the freezer. The heat from the surrounding environment causes the outer layer of the ice cube to melt slightly, then refreezes as it moves to colder areas in the freezer, forming a glob. This process is known as sublimation.
A metal ice-cube tray and a plastic tub of ice cream are sitting in the freezer. Why does the ice-cube tray feel colder to touch than the tub of ice cream?
The answer is D. The metal ice-cube tray has a higher conductivity.
Does a freezer temperature get warmer if the dial is on a higher number or colder?
A freezer temperature gets colder when the dial is set to a higher number. The higher the number on the dial, the colder the freezer will be.
What is the difference between Refrigerator and freezer?

Is a freezer colder than a bowl of ice?
of course a freezer is colder than a bowl of ice because the freezer made the ice and there are lots of frozen stuff in there.
How can I adjust the settings to make my freezer colder?
To make your freezer colder, you can adjust the temperature settings by turning the dial or pressing the buttons to a lower temperature setting. This will help maintain a colder temperature inside the freezer.
