To create vacuum. Heat doesn't travel from one side to the other (in either direction) if there is no matter. Temperature is basically a measure of the amount of vibrational energy particles have. No particles, no temperature, except via eletromagnetic radiation, which can travel through vacuum.

The silvered wall of a vacuum bottle takes care of heat flow by?
There is a silvering in the vacuum flask in order to reduce the loss of heat through the means of radiation.
How does a flask keep hot liquid hot?
There are several types of flasks. They are all containers or vessels, usually designed to carry a liquid and often made of glass. They sometimes have a cap and are narrower at the top, but usually do not have a handle.The first distinction is flasks that are used in a laboratory. There are several types, including erlenmeyer flasks, florence flasks, round bottom flasks, distilling flasks, volumetric flasks, and others. A description of each one is listed to the left under the Related Questions links.Another type of flask is instead used to carry alcohol. It is a small container usually shaped to fit in a back pocket. It can hold any liquid but usually was designed for alcohol.See the Related Questions and Web Links to the left for more information and pictures of different types of flasks.
What is an example of an insulator?
A2. Insulation is a process of separating one thing from another. Materials for this are called insulators. Commonly we may insulate against the transfer of Heat, Electricity, and Sound or vibration.An Electrical insulator could be glass. Or most plastics.A Heat insulator could be a vacuum, such as in a vacuum flask. Or a loose material such as fibreglass wool.A Sound insulator is normally something of massive properties, such as gypsum wallboard, or concrete.The plastic covering on wire is a perfect example of an insulator.
What are the precautions for conical flask?
Usually they are handled by gripping the neck of the flask from the side. Get in the habit of never allowing you hand to be over the opening in the neck. Sometimes the fumes coming out through the throat of the flask can be hot or corrosive and burn you.
Round flask with long neck?
You could be referring to a florence flask or a volumetric flask.See the Related Questions links to the left for more information.
Why are shiny outer surfaces needed in a vacuum flask?
The outer surfaces do not need to be shiny. The interior ones do, to reflect heat back rather than let the heat pass out of the vacuum flask. The vacuum between the double walls of the flask also reduces heat loss.
Vacuum is mantained in thermos flask?
The vacuum reduce heat loss by conduction and convection.
When is it preferable to use a plastic volumetric flask?
The plastic flask is needed for trace analysis on analytes at ppb levels that might be lost by adsorption on the glass surface.
What is vacuum cup?
it is the cup that comes on a vacuum flask
Substance that contains the vacuum in a vacuum flask?
Glass
What is silvering in a vacuum flask?
There is a silvering in the vacuum flask in order to reduce the loss of heat through the means of radiation.
Why are vacuum flasks called vacuum flasks?
why are vacuum flasks called vacuum flask
How does a themos flask work?
Also known as a Buchner or vacuum flask, the flask uses vacuum to filter samples. A vacuum hose is attached to the hose barb and the funnel is placed on top. As the hose creates a vacuum, the sample is filtered through the funnel.
How is heat transferred away from a vacuum flask?
a vacuum flask is not 100% vacuum. it contains some particles or gas molecules which absorbs a small amount of heat.
Why wouldn't it be sensible to put an ice cube in a vacuum flask?
When water freezes becoming ice it expands. In a vacuum flask as ice melts it will contract. This will cause the flask to crack.
Why your vacuum flask cannot maintain the cold anymore?
There could be a crack or leakage that allows air to flow in or out of the flask. It may be time to replace the flask with a new one.
What do you call the object that keeps water hot for hours?
Thermos flask or vacuum flask.
