**Question:**Given what you know about the specific heats of various substances, why are pots and pans made of metal?This is because they have:- ○ high heat capacity; low specific heat- ○ low heat capacity; high specific heat- ○ high heat capacity; high specific heat- ○ low heat capacity; low specific heat**Explanation:**The question is exploring the concept of specific heat and its practical application in the choice of materials for cookware, such as pots and pans. Metals are preferred for these cooking instruments due to their thermal properties, but understanding which thermal properties are advantageous requires knowing the difference between heat capacity and specific heat.**Options:**- **High heat capacity; low specific heat:** Materials with low specific heat can reach higher temperatures more quickly when energy is applied, which is typically desirable in cooking to efficiently transfer heat to the food.- **Low heat capacity; high specific heat:** High specific heat means a material requires more energy to change temperature, which is not ideal for quick heating.- **High heat capacity; high specific heat:** Although this is about high energy absorption, it is less practical for cooking as it may lead to inefficient heat transfer.- **Low heat capacity; low specific heat:** This would imply inefficiency in both measuring energy absorbed and energy transfer, which doesn’t apply to typical metals used in cookware.To align with practical use, metals chosen for pots and pans often have low specific heat but efficient heat distribution properties.

• Here, we have to choose the correct option. • We have to give the reason why the pots and pans made of metal.• Specific heat is defined as the amount of heat required to increase the temperature of 1 gm of substance by 1 °C or 1 K. • Heat capacity is defined as the ability of substance to retain heat. • It means that substance with high heat capacity, will be heated slowly and also will be cooled down slowly. • While a substance with low heat capacity means that heating up and cooling down phenomenon will occur fast. • As we know that metals get fast heating up and cooling down phenomenon. Therefore, they have low heat capacity. • Also, metals required less heat to increase the temperature by 1 °C or 1 K, so that metals have low specific heat. • Hence, option (d) low heat capacity, low specific heat.

One day while camping, a student used a propane stove to boil some water. The student heated 5.00 L of water from 15.6°C to 98.5°C. The molar enthalpy of combustion of propane is -2043.9 kJ/mol and heating the water required 1.38 mol of propane. Determine the efficiency of the propane camp stove if the heat released from the stove was used to heat the water. 62.4 % 38.4% D162 % 61.6%
