Answer

$k=0.1\frac{W}{m^{\circ}C}$

Work Step by Step

Knowing that the heat transfer in this case is by conduction: $Q_{cond}=\frac{kA\Delta T}{L}$ Solving for $k$: $k=\frac{Q_{cond}L}{A\Delta T}=\frac{Q_{cond}}{A}*\frac{L}{\Delta T}=500\frac{W}{m^2}*(\frac{0.02m}{100^{\circ}C-0^{\circ}C})=0.1\frac{W}{m^{\circ}C}$
