Question 1


Some steamboat restaurants use paper pots for their customers to boil the food themselves.
What is the reason for the paper not to catch fire when in contact with the flame?


Ans:
The paper is thin and therefore heat is conducted quickly to the water in the paper pot.
The burning temperature of the paper is higher than the boiling point of water.
