Which type of cup keeps hot water hottest polystyrene plastic paper or metal?
paper
What is a good insulator for frozen water bottle?
Styrofoam is excellent
Is styrofoam a good insulator to keep hot water hot?
Yes, because it does not conduct heat.
Does metal or foam keep water hotter longer?
In general, foam is a better insulator than metal, and so foam would be expected to keep water hotter longer under most normal circumstances.
What are some catchy titles for science fair project about boiling water in paper cup?
While is SOUNDS impossible, yes. you can- under the right circumstances. It requiress an exact balance between an even source of heat, and the wetting of the bag. Heat keeps the paper from getting too mushy, water keeps the paper from catching fire. This has been used for years as a Boy Scout camping entertainment. Not suggested that you try it indoors- parts of the bag above the waterline catch fire, and sometimes the bag comes apart.
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.
Which cup keeps water warmest after 10 minutes?
styrofoam keeps the water warm hahAHAHAHA
Do thermos cup or styrofoam cup keep water hotter?
thermos cup
Which Insulation Keeps Water Hot or Cold the Longest?
not sure but i think styrofoam or thermocol
what type of cup keeps hot water hottest Paper or metal?
A metal cup will generally keep hot water hotter for longer compared to a paper cup. Metal is a better insulator than paper, so it helps to retain heat more effectively.
Can you paper mache styrofoam balls and paint over the paper mache without ruining the styrofoam?
Yes, you can papier-mâché styrofoam balls and paint over them without ruining the styrofoam. To do this, use a water-based adhesive for the papier-mâché, as solvents can dissolve styrofoam. Once the paper layers are dry, you can safely paint over them with acrylic or water-based paint. Just ensure that the paper-mâché layer is fully dry before applying any paint to avoid moisture damage.
What type of cup keeps water warm the longest-plastic paper styrofoam or glass and why results?
A glass cup would keep water warm the longest because glass is a good insulator and retains heat well compared to plastic, paper, or styrofoam which are poorer insulators. This is because glass has a lower thermal conductivity compared to the other materials, so heat escapes more slowly.
Can you boil water in a Styrofoam cup over an open flame?
Oh, dude, can you boil water in a Styrofoam cup over an open flame? Technically, yes, you can, but I wouldn't recommend it unless you want a side of melted cup with your water. Styrofoam is not exactly known for its heat resistance, so maybe stick to a regular pot for your boiling adventures.
Does a paper cup keep water hotter than a plastic cup?
A paper cup typically does not keep water hotter than a plastic cup. Paper is a poor insulator compared to plastic, so heat is more likely to escape from a paper cup, leading to faster cooling of the water inside.
Is styrofoam water resistant?
Yes, styrofoam is water resistant.
Why does a coin sink in water while a piece of styrofoam of a similar size and shape float?
The coin sinks because it is denser than water, causing it to displace less water and sink. The styrofoam floats because it is less dense than water, displacing enough water to create an upward buoyant force that keeps it afloat.
How do you dry Styrofoam?
If it is a rectangle or square. Place it vertically on a paper towel folded a few times to act as a wick to pull the water out. Replace the paper towel as needed.
