Normal water left uncovered in a pan is found to be cooler than fresh tap water. Which physical process is responsible for this? Why?

  • Normal water left in uncovered pan looses heat easily to the surroundings since the pan is a good conductor of heat.
  • In the case of tap water, loss of heat is not easily possible because tap is a bad conductor of heat. Hence, water remains warm when compared to water in the pan.
