Question
You are provided with the following materials. Discuss which material would be your choice to make a pan that is most suitable for boiling water and why?
Answer

For boiling water, the pan must be made of a material that is a good conductor of heat. Among the given materials, only iron and copper are metals and both are good conductors of heat. However, copper is the best choice because it is highly resistant to rust compared to iron. Therefore, a pan made of copper is the most suitable choice for boiling water.
