  1. Describe how a thermal flask is able to keep hot liquids hot and cold liquids cold and also how heat loss is minimised in a vaccum flask?

    • 1. Insulated stopper → reduces conduction & convection
      2. Double-walled container with a vacuum gap between walls → reduces conduction & convection
      3. Walls with silvery surfaces → reduces thermal radiation
