People use oven mitts to avoid getting burns when moving hot metal pans while cooking. Which physical property of the metal pan requires the use of an oven mitt when it is hot?(1 point)

Question

Responses

Low magnetism
Low magnetism

High thermal conductivity
High thermal conductivity

High solubility
High solubility

Low thermal conductivity

Answer 1

The correct response is:

High thermal conductivity

High thermal conductivity means that the metal pan efficiently transfers heat. Therefore, when the pan is hot, it can quickly transfer that heat to your skin, causing burns. Oven mitts are used to create a barrier that protects your hands from the heat.
