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 thermal conductivity
Low thermal conductivity

High solubility
High solubility

Low magnetism
Low magnetism

High thermal conductivity

Answer 1

The correct response is:

High thermal conductivity

Metal pans typically have high thermal conductivity, meaning they can quickly transfer heat to anything in contact with them, including human skin. This is why oven mitts are necessary to protect against burns when handling hot metal pans.
