  1. Answer:9.8×10^(-3) w/m°C

    Explanation:

    Quantity of heat(Q)=14.1w

    Distance(d)=2.44cm=2.44/100=0.0244m

    Area(a)=1.88m^2

    Temperature change(t)=18.6°C

    thermal conductivity(k)=?

    K=(Qxd) ➗ (a x t)

    K=(14.1×0.0244) ➗ (1.88×18.6)

    K=0.34404 ➗ 34.968

    K=9.8×10^(-3) w/m°C
