Jasmine is a cook, and she wants to buy new equipment. She is presented with dishes made of copper, clay, plastic, and glass. She selects the copper pot because she does most of her cooking on the stove.Which explains why she most likely chose copper?
Answer
A
Copper is shiny and reflects light, which will cook the food.
B
Copper is malleable and can be manipulated to cook food.
C
Copper is ductile and can be stretched to cook the food.
D
Copper is conductive and will absorb heat to cook the food.
Explanation
Copper conducts heat well, so heat from the stove passes through the pot and cooks the food. This makes copper a practical choice for stovetop cooking. Being shiny, malleable, or ductile does not explain how the pot transfers heat to the food.
