Why do styrofoam cups keep water hot for longer than and paper cups?
Styrofoam is a poor conductor of heat, which helps to insulate the liquid inside and maintain its temperature for longer. Paper cups, on the other hand, are better conductors of heat and do not provide as much insulation, causing the liquid to cool down more quickly.
Why do styrofoam cups make good insulators?
stylofoam cups are poor conductors of heat, hence when a exothermic chemical reaction is carried out inside a stylofoam cup, the heat given out cannot be dissepated into the environment via the walls of the cup. Therefore the cup acts as an insulating material.
Materials that are poor conductors of heat?
Materials that are poor conductors of heat are Plastic and Wood "example."
For water in glass plastic or styrofoam cups - which will freeze fastest?
Assuming they are the same or similar shape and volume, water in glass would freeze first, then plastic then foam. Foam allows transfer of heat out of water more slowly than plastic and the glass probably has the highest rate of heat radiation of the three.
What things are poor conductors of heat?
Poor conductors of heat include materials like wood, plastic, rubber, and air. These materials have molecules that are spaced relatively far apart, making it difficult for heat to transfer through them efficiently.

Are poor conductors of heat poor conductors of electricity?
Yes.
Poor conductors of heat?
Any non-metal on the periodic table. Compounds such as plastic, wood, etc. [Take note that graphite is a conductor.]
What are some poor conductors of heat?
Poor conductors of heat are generally also poor conductors of electricity. These would include most gases, ceramics and man-made plastics. A vacuum will not conduct heat either.
What are some conductors of heat?
Gold, diamond, rubber, and glass are poor heat conductors.
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.

What are some bad conductors of heat?
Gold, diamond, rubber, and glass are poor heat conductors.
What nonmetals in the solid state are poor conductors of heat tend to?
Nonmetals in the solid state tend to be brittle and poor conductors of heat.
How well does styrofoam conduct heat?
Yes, styrofoam is full of air cells and air is a good thermal insulator. Styrofoam has poor solvent resistance, and poor hot performance.
What are poor conductors of heat and energy?
wood
