b) i) The device shown by the diagram is a thermos flask (or vacuum flask). ii) The parts labelled I to VI are: I: Stopper (or Cork*) II: Outer casing (or Outer wall*) III: Vacuum* IV: Spring support* V: Silvered surface (or Reflective coating*) VI: Inner wall (or Glass bottle*) iii) One function of each of the parts labelled I, II, IV, and VI: I (Stopper): Prevents heat loss or gain by convection and conduction* through the opening. II (Outer casing): Provides structural support and protection* for the inner glass bottle. IV (Spring support): Holds the inner glass bottle in place and absorbs shocks* to prevent breakage. VI (Inner wall): Contains the liquid and, with its silvered surface, reduces heat transfer by radiation*. iv) One use of the household device is to keep liquids hot or cold for an extended period.
