Glass could be termed as a liquid at room temperature which is why it needs such a low stress to creep. (Many Glass frames, older than 50 years, arevisiblythickerat the bottom compared to the top). Glass can be found in awateryliquid form at various temperatures from 1000 C to 10000 C depending on heating rates and chemical composition. Pretty confusing stuff glass is.

∙ 13y agono its not safe or smart because all it would do is freeze over the glass and crack!

∙ 11y agoIt is not recommendable - the glass may be broken by freezing of the foods.

∙ 11y agoYou mean, can you put something in glass and freeze it? Yes, if there's enough expansion room in the container.

Do all liquid freeze at the same rate?
No. Every substance has its own freezing and boiling temperatures, and they're rarely the same as the freezing or boiling temperature of any other substance. Here's something to consider: You're sitting in your easy chair, enjoying a glass of water and breathing comfortably. Let's just say the temperature is about 72° in the room, more or less. That temperature is above the freezing point of the water in your glass, but below its boiling point. So the water is liquid. But 72° is lower than the freezing point of glass, so the glass tumbler is solid, and it's holding the liquid water very nicely. 72° is above the freezing point of air, and even above its boiling point, so the air in the room is in the state of gas, (which makes it much easier to breathe). If the temperature in the room were to change drastically, however, you could easily have steam, or liquid glass, or solid air.
Will petroleum jelly freeze?
No. It will get cold but it will not freeze.
What water will not freeze?
Sea water will not freeze.
Why do crystalline solids shatter into shaped fragments when broken?
Yes, the glass is made up of millions of parts which is combined to one thing, so when they "freeze" or get "colder" it tends to shatter more easily.
What happens if you freeze oil?
Vegetable oil can't freeze.
What happends if you freeze a glass of water?
The glass may break.
Can metal freeze on glass?
I had a 1975 Chevy pickup truck that I was welding on the door. The molten steel fell on the window and fused itself to it. I ruined the glass and learned that you can indeed have metal freeze on glass.
Can you freeze a frosted cake in a glass cake pan?
Of course. Glass won't crack!
Which can freeze faster canned coke or glass coke?
Coke that has been poured into a glass will freeze faster than coke that is in an unopened can. Pressure of the can will prevent it from freezing.
Can foods be frozen in glass jars?
Yes they can.
What cup will freeze water faster glass or a foam?
I assume you mean the water in the cup. Foam is a better insulator than glass, so it should be the water in the glass cup.
Which will freeze the most metal glass plastic paper and why?
The metal paper would freeze more because it is a good conductor hence easily lose heat.
For water in glass plastic or styrofoam cups - which will freeze fastest?
Assuming they are the same or similar shape and volume, water in glass would freeze first, then plastic then foam. Foam allows transfer of heat out of water more slowly than plastic and the glass probably has the highest rate of heat radiation of the three.
Can I freeze food in a pyrex dish with a rubber cover?
Pyrex is perfect for microwaving because it is made of glass. Glass is safe to go in the microwave and it will not contaminate your food.
Are shards of glass freeze pops real?
I'm just guessing no because that should be illegal.
What happens if you add or remove energy to a glass of water?
if you add it will stay liquid but if you remove it will freeze
Are you supposed to put the liquor in the shot glass mold and then put it in the freezer?
No - Alcohol won't freeze, so you can't make a frozen shot glass out of booze. However, you can either use a mixer (fruit juice, tonic water, etc) and freeze it in the shot glass mold, or make a gummy shot glass by melting 4 ounces of gummy candy in the microwave for 1 minute and then pouring that in the mold (4 ounces per glass). Regardless of what kind you make, freeze the mold and contents until solid, then pop it out and fill it with whatever beverage you'd like to imbibe in.
