Glass can be changed by thermal treatments.
Glass can be changed by thermal treatments.
Pyrex changed its glass formula in 1998 from borosilicate to tempered soda-lime glass.
No, though it would be challenging to get up every last scrap of glass to prove it!
Physical change because the molecules have not changed to form a new substance.
Yes, is changed back in a solid.
The density of the glass has not changed, but since air is less dense than glass, the density of the block has decreased.
That's a physical change, becuase shattered glass is still glass, it's just in a bunch of pieces. Its chemical composition has not changed, only its shape.

A physical change can be reversed, for it does not change what the object is made of. The glass, even when broken, is still glass. It can be put back into its original state (possibly through melting) because it never changed what it was made out of.
Glass blowing is a physical procedure, the chemical formula is not changed.
The properties of glass can be changed by altering its composition (adding different materials), changing the cooling rate during production, or subjecting it to heat treatments such as tempering or annealing. These methods can affect properties like strength, transparency, and thermal resistance.
Glass breaking is a physical change because it does not involve a change in the chemical makeup of the glass. The bonds between the glass molecules are simply being rearranged when it breaks, but the composition of the glass remains the same.
