No, because plastic is an insulator making it a very bad conductor of heat.

Is plastic or Styrofoam the poorest conductor of heat?

The answer to this question depends on the magic word NIC. NIC is short for non-intercellular. This means that the tiny cells within the foam do not connect with each other. The foam does not soak up lots of water. You can't blow air through it. A plastic foam which is NIC is a very poor conductor of heat - a good insulator. A plastic foam which is intercellular is not a good conductor, but it is nowhere near as poor as NIC foam. Its best use is as a sponge for soaking up water.

Is there a reaction between the ammonium hydroxide inside a plastic bag when immersed in a water with phenolphthalein?

If the phenolphthalein solution turns pink, that means that the plastic bag is permeable to ammonium hydroxide. If it remains colorless, then the plastic bag is not permeable to ammonium hydroxide. If the contents of the plastic bag turn pink, then the plastic bag is permeable to phenolphthalein. If everything remains colorless, then the bag is impermeable to both ammonium hydroxide and phenolphthalein.
