That depends on many things. This question is too vague. Variables such as starting temp, surrounding environment temp, time it's been in the cup, and thickness of the styrofoam will change the answer
if its a small Styrofoam cup definitely not
When the pin is pushed into the cup the polystyrene (Styrofoam) is temporarily pushed aside. When the pin is withdrawn the polystyrene reforms largely to its original location. If a drill was used, the same diameter as the pin and material was actually removed the cup would leak. Also the water tension of the water in front of a hole the size of a pin would prevent the water from leaking out.
Styrofoam is made of a polymer called polystyrene, which is not soluble in water due to its non-polar molecular structure. Water is a polar molecule, while polystyrene is non-polar, leading to weak intermolecular forces between the two that prevent dissolution.
No, it is not best to put sodas in a Styrofoam cooler for cooling. Styrofoam coolers can leach harmful chemicals into beverages, especially if they are acidic like sodas. It's better to use coolers made of safer materials like plastic or metal.
A styrofoam cup will float in water because styrofoam is less dense than water, causing it to displace water and float.
thermos cup
The answer will depend on the size of the cup and, therefore, the quantity of water in it!
a cup made out of styrofoam...........................................................................................................................................................................
A styrofoam cup can help to retain heat, but it is not as effective as materials like ceramic or insulated metal. Hot water in a styrofoam cup will cool down faster compared to using a better insulated material.
A metal cup would likely keep the hot water warmer for a longer period than a styrofoam cup due to its superior insulating properties. Metal is generally a better conductor of heat, so it is able to retain heat better than styrofoam, which is a poor insulator.

To make a styrofoam calorimeter, you will need a styrofoam cup, a lid for the cup, a thermometer, and a stirrer. Cut a hole in the lid to insert the thermometer. Fill the cup with a known volume of water and record its initial temperature. Place the cup in a larger container filled with water and heat or cool the water to a desired temperature. Place the lid on the cup and stir the water to ensure even temperature distribution. Record the final temperature of the water to calculate the heat exchange.
styrofoam keeps the water warm hahAHAHAHA
a styrofoam cup. i tried it on my science project
When the metal is poured into the Styrofoam cup of water, the heat stored in the metal is transferred to the water and the cup. This transfer of heat causes the temperature of the water and the cup to increase, as the metal cools down.
The average mass of a Styrofoam cup is approximately 5 grams.
