Question: Two identical ice cubes are each placed on plates that are the same size but made of different materials. The ice cube on the left

Two identical ice cubes are each placed on plates that are the same size but made of different materials. The ice cube on the left plate melts much faster than the ice cube on the right plate. Which of the following is the most likely composition of the two plates? The thermal conductivity of aluminum is 235W*m-1*K-1. The thermal conductivity of wood (white pine) is 0.12W*m-1*K-1. The thermal conductivity of brick is 0.9W*m-1*K-1. The thermal conductivity of glass is 0.96W*m-1*K-1.
