Chapter 12.1, Problem 16SSC

To determine

To Explain: The stovetop pans are made from metals.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

Metals are very good conductors of heat. It means they have high thermal conductivity and require less amount of heat to raise unit temperature.

Stove top pans are made from metals such as copper, iron and aluminum because of their high thermal conductivity value. These metals get quickly heated up which makes the cooking process simpler.
