The glass surface will began to heat up and the particles will expand and move apart. This will make it hot and your mass inside you will heat
Why does a glass tumbler crack when you suddenly pour hot tea into it?
When we pour very hot water into an empty glass, the inner surface of the glass will expand as matter expands when heated. But the inner surface of the glass will expand more than the outer surface of the glass because more heat is applied to the inner surface of the glass.
What happens when a piece of glass is exposed to intense heat?
Heat will first cause the glass to expand, which normally shatters it from its frame. Even higher heat may cause it to melt (it is already an amorphous solid). Even higher heat (3000 degrees C) can cause it to vaporize.
Will the jar contract or expand when heated?
Heat would cause the molecules to speed up movement and expand metals. Glass melts, paper burns, clay would shrink as water vapor escapes, etc.

glass is a bad counductor of heat, so at first the glass flasks expands and its volume inside increases. the liquid which has not started to expand yet, drops to fill the extra volume inside

Do Mylar balloons expand in heat?
All balloons expand in heat.
Why does a experienced housewife will always place a metal spoon in a glass tumbler before pouring hot tea in to it?
If we pour hot tea in glass tumbler the tumbler will expand and break off. So to prevent it we keep a metal spoon in it,as it is a conductor of heat it will absorb heat and prevents the glass from breaking.
Why a glass jar can open easily if the metal lid is heated gently first?
Heat causes the metal to expand, thus breaking the seal.
