Question

Mrs. Shah wants to buy a rust-proof frying pan which is able to conduct heat quickly. She also wants to buy one which she can hold without burning her hand. Which materials should part X and Y of the frying.

Answer 1

Dear Student

Material X can be stainless steel, copper and anodised aluminium.
They all are resistant to rust, corrosion, scratching, and denting.

Material Y is Bakelite.
Bakelite is a bad conductor of heat and has a very high melting point. This is the reason why it used to make the handles on cooking utensils.
