Answer:
Explanation:
As we stir the pot of soup by a metal spoon which is a conductor, it conducts the heat and starts heating after some time the temperature of the spoon rises and we are not able to hold the spoon and we get burns.
Answer:
To prevent the soup from cooling soon and prevent our hands from high temperature of the spoon by the contact of soup.
Explanation:
- It is unwise to stir a pot of soup with a metal spoon because the metal has a much lower specific heat capacity than that of water i.e. it requires lesser heat energy to raise its temperature.
- Soup being a blend of edible fats and vegetables forms a layer of fat and starch on the surface preventing much of the heat from escaping to the environment and thus delaying the process of loosing the heat to the ambiance.
- When a spoon is put into soup it becomes an accessible good conductor path for the heat to escape easily as a result it also increases the temperature of spoon significantly due to its low specific heat capacity.
