C. copper

Explanation:

Copper is the best conductor of heat from the given options. Plastic, wood and cotton are all poor conductors other wise known as insulators.

Metals are typically good conductors of heat.

  • they generally do not have a high specific heat capacity which implies that they get heated easily.
  • a good conductor allows heat to flow fast and it simultaneously loses heat readily too.
  • copper is a good conductor, when heat its perfectly allows heat to pass through
  • when heat is removed, it loses it very fast.

Just about everyone at one time or another has been burned by hot water or steam. This problem compares the heat input to your s
kkurt [141]

Answer:

B. Steam burns the skin worse than hot water because the latent heat of vaporization is released as well.

Explanation:

It is given that both steam and the boiling water when in contact with the skin cools down from 100 to 34 degrees Celsius.

For any substance of mass m, the heat required to change the temperature by \Delta T is mC\Delta T (S.I. unit = Joules).

where C, the specific heat capacity is the same and a constant for both the condensed steam and the boiling water.  

But, there is a "hidden" energy (heat) released by the steam called latent heat

(given by mL, L = specific latent heat) which allows the phase transition (gas to liquid). While both of them are at the same temperature, their energy (heat) is different, which is why steam causes burns worse than boiling water
