a vacuum flask is not 100% vacuum. it contains some particles or gas molecules which absorbs a small amount of heat.

Vacuum is mantained in thermos flask?
The vacuum reduce heat loss by conduction and convection.
How does a vacuum flask prevent heat from flowing in or out of it?
Vacuum (absence of matter) is an excellent insulator because matter is the vehicle that carries heat from one place to another. A vacuum flask contains a vacuum-sealed space between the outer and inner walls of the vessel. Without a vehicle, the heat cannot easily be transferred across the gap between the two walls.
What Are Some Objects That Minimize Heat Transfer?
The vacuum flask otherwise known as a thermos flask
How is energy transferred by solids liquids gases and vacuum?
Heat energy is transferred by conduction, convection and radiation. In a vacuum, heat energy can only be transferred by radiation.
How thermos flask prevent loss or gain of heat by?
A vacuum makes a good heat insulator.

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 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.

What could you heat water in that would retain the heat the longest?
A vacuum would retain the heat best, hence a thermos flask has a vacuum around it =-)
How does thermal pot keep the liquid inside it hot?
Most thermal pots use a vacuum flask inside. The inner and outer walls are separated by a vacuum. The only way heat is transferred from inner to outer walls is by radiation.
Which form of heat transfer is reduced by the use of vacuum inside a vacuum flask?
The vacuum reduces both conduction and convection.
What Vacuum flask keeps liquid at same temperature?
There is no way to permanently store heat. The most you can expect, from a high-quality vacuum flask, is to keep the liquid cold, or hot, for a fairly long time. But gradually, some heat will seep in, or out, until the temperature in the vacuum flask will be equal to the temperature of the surroundings.
How thermos flask prevent loss or gain of heat by?
A vacuum makes a good heat insulator.
What thermos flask prevent loss or gain of heat by?
Thermos Flask prevent loss or gain of heat by separating the internal layer and the external layer with a vacuum (absence of air molecules). Heat is usually transferred through different media (air molecules and other molecules). Without these media, heat can't pass from one place to another, except for radiation which doesn't need any media (it can travel through vacuum)
