What type of cup keeps water warm the longest-plastic paper styrofoam or glass and why?

Styrofoam because it has a thick layer and is a good insulator.Paper and plastic are could alternatives but Styrofoam would work better, therefore glass would be the worst one to use because it would only keep it warm for a couple of minutes.

Why do Styrofoam cups keep liquid warmer then plastic cups?
This experiment works by assuming a heat balance. You assume that all of the heat in the iron goes into the water and that none of it leaves the system, so you want your experimental apparatus to be as insulating as possible.If you use a cup with poorer insulative properties, you will estimate a lower value for the specific heat of iron. The styrofoam cup is not a perfect insulator, but it is better than plastic or ceramic.You can get a feel for this by pouring three cups of kettle water into plastic, ceramic and styrofoam cups. Leave them sit for a set time. Which one feels the hottest? That one is the best insulator. Which one feels the coolest? That one is the poorest insulator.
What keeps things colder aluminum foil or waxed paper?
aluminum foil keeps things colder.
What is the name of the paper used to clean the glass surfaces of the microscope?
its called lens paper
What sintered glass crucible made of?
Sintered glass crucible is a glass mesh used for filteration. It can be used instead of filter paper, and in fact it is preferrable to filter paper. Sintered glass crucible must be cleaned then dried to constant weig befoe it can be used to filter out precipitates such as silver chloride.
On which cup keeps liquid hot the longest styrofoam glass plastic or paper?

What keeps water hotter paper or styrofoam?
styrofoam, but warning fammable and unsafe for the environment!
Are glasses a conductor or insulator?
Examples of insulators include plastics, Styrofoam, paper, rubber, glass and dry air.
Which type of cup will keep a hot drink, warm longer paper, plastic, Styrofoam or glass?
Styrofoam cups are generally the best at keeping hot drinks warm for a longer period of time. This is because Styrofoam is an excellent insulator, meaning it does not conduct heat well and therefore helps to keep the temperature of the drink constant. Paper cups and plastic cups are also decent insulators, but they are not as effective as Styrofoam. Glass cups are poor insulators and are not recommended for keeping hot drinks warm.
How long does it take a styrofoam plate to decompos?
TOO long, that is why you should use paper or re-use a glass plate
What is a material that has a high resistance?

Is styrofoam plastic or paper?
Styrofoam, or polystyrene, is plastic.
Is the density of styrofoam less than paper?
nobc the Styrofoam is heavyer than paper
Is a mug a bad heat insulator?
Yes. Out of paper, plastic, glass, a thermos, a mug, and Styrofoam, the mug held the least heat in. The thermos is the best.
