Does metal containers keep food hot?
Metal is a good conductor of heat, therefore heat leaks out of it easily, and it does not keep food hot all that well. Styrofoam keeps food hot.
How is berryllium made?
Beryllium is primarily produced through the process of chemical reduction of beryllium fluoride with magnesium metal. This reaction produces beryllium metal and magnesium fluoride as byproduct. Another method of production is through the reduction of beryllium oxide with carbon in a high temperature furnace.
