Question

Consider two cooking pots of the same dimensions, each containing the same amount of water at the same initial temperature. The bottom of the first pot is made of copper, while the bottom of the second pot is made of aluminum. Both pots are placed on a hot surface having a temperature of 145C. The water in the copper-bottomed pot boils away completely in 425 s. How long does it take the water in the aluminumbottomed pot to boil away completely?
