What else can I help you with?
Is styrofoam a good insulator to keep hot water hot?
Yes, because it does not conduct heat.
What materials conduct heat and which do not?
Insulators do not conduct heat and are therefore non-metals. Metals do conduct heat, and vey well may i add. But, for the record, you're thinking of electricity. Potatoes conduct heat, and they're not metals. Anyone who has held a lump in their hand will tell you that playdough conducts heat, in fact, rather a lot of other materials conduct heat and water also conduct heat
Will the recorded temperature change for an exothermic reaction performed in a glass calorimeter be greater or less that?
The recorded temperature change for an exothermic reaction performed in a glass calorimeter is less than the Styrofoam cup calorimeter. This is because the glass will conduct heat away more than the Styrofoam.
Is fabric insulator or conductor?
it's an insulator. conductors are things like metals or salts.
What keeps water hotter paper or styrofoam?
styrofoam, but warning fammable and unsafe for the environment!
What is an object that doesn't conduct heat well?
An example of an object that doesn't conduct heat well is Styrofoam. This material is a poor conductor of heat due to its structure, which traps air and limits the transfer of heat energy. As a result, Styrofoam is commonly used for insulation purposes.
Is a Styrofoam cooler conductor or insulator?
Styrofoam is an insulator. It has low thermal conductivity, meaning it does not conduct heat well, which helps to keep items inside the cooler cool.
An object that doesn't conduct heat well is?
Styrofoam is an example of an object that doesn't conduct heat well. Its low thermal conductivity makes it an effective insulator, often used in packaging materials to keep items insulated from temperature changes.
Is styrofoam a good insulator to keep hot water hot?
Yes, because it does not conduct heat.
Which meterial not conduct the heat?
Materials with poor thermal conductivity, like wood, rubber, and styrofoam, do not conduct heat efficiently. These materials have high resistance to the flow of heat energy, which makes them good insulators.
Does metal conduct heat well?
yes. metals conduct heat and electric current well.
Why is styrofoam?
Styrofoam is actually a plastic with lots of tiny bubbles trapped inside of it. Because the foam is packed with bubbles, there is relatively little plastic to conduct heat. The bubbles themselves are too small to set up a convection current, and don't conduct very well because they are gaseous. As a result, the Styrofoam works as an insulator, only letting heat transfer through it slowly
What is a substance that does not conduct thermal energy very well?
One example of a substance that does not conduct thermal energy very well is Styrofoam. This material is a poor conductor of heat due to its low density and air pockets within its structure, which inhibit the transfer of thermal energy through the material.
Is a styrofoam cooler a conductor?
No it is an insulator, since it does not conduct current (as long as it is dry). It would not be my first choice as an insulator since it is flammable, and generates toxic gasses when it is burned.
What is an object that does not conduct heat?
Anything with lots of air pockets within the material. Soft wood, layers of cardboard, styrofoam of course.
What does conduct heat well?
Insulator
Does argon gas conduct electricity and heat?
gases do not conduct heat or electricity well. metals conduct both well. but argon is a conductor
