✪ Question ✪

Styrofoam cup is used to serve hot tea or coffee because

(a) it is a good conductor of heat

(b) it is a poor conductor of heat

(c) it is very flexible in nature

(d) it is easy to clean

✪ Answer ✪

Styrofoam cup is used to serve hot tea or coffee because it is a bad conductor of heat. Or in other words, it is an insulator of heat. Styrofoam is made up of around 90% of air, and as we know that air is a bad conductor of heat, it makes styrofoam a good insulator. Unlike metal cups, styrofoam cups do not allow heat to pass through it and prevents our hand from getting burnt when we hold the cup.

✪ Hence ✪

The correct option is (b) it is a poor conductor of heat.
