Best Answer

A beaker of Dry Ice will have VERY cold, glass walls. The moisture in the surrounding air comes into contact with the cold surfaces, condenses and freezes on them.

Thus, your ice formation on the beaker.

A glass of cold milk sometimes forms a coat of water on the outside of the glass (Often referred to as 'sweat'). How does most of the water get there?

if you have ice in it the ice will melt and get out


What is a laboratory beaker?

A beaker is a simple container for stirring, mixing and heating liquids commonly used in many laboratories. Beakers are generally cylindrical in shape, with a flat bottom. A beaker is like a glass jar, but it has very straight sides, a flat base and a slightly wider top with a spout/lip for pouring. The sides are often marked/graduated to indicate volume/capacity measures. It is used in laboratories for holding or measuring liquids for experiments.See Related Link below ads


Why a glass of ice water often has water droplets which form on the outside while a hot cup of tea or soup does not?

the main reason is condensation of water vapour in the air to water droplets

Are glass or wooden patio sets worth it?

A patio set is best determined on what the consumer is looking for. If your family often spends time outside on your patio you may want to invest in a patio set. If it rains often you may not want glass with metal, because it may rust. Ultimately this decision is up to the consumer.

Beaker tongs allow you to transport a hot beaker from one location to another. They are frequently used in chemistry. They are a grasping device consisting of two arms that are joined, often at one end, as by a pivot or a scissor like hinge.


Is lead banned in glass or stained glass?

No, however, newer stained glass utilized non-lead solder, and the lead (PbO, lead oxide) in leaded glass has been replaced more and more by the use of barium oxide, zinc oxide, or potassium oxide. While not banned, lead is used less often today, and the rare lead glass contains 24% PbO or near that amount. It is recommended that any glass suspected of containing PbO should be avoided with food or beverages.


Why will a milk bottle crack if you pour hot water into it?

The milk bottle is made of ordinary glass with a relatively high coefficient of thermal expansion. Glass has poor thermal conductivity, so the inside of the bottle will be hot and outside cold. This temperature gradient will cause a stress in the glass and if the glass has small imperfections or flaws in it the glass will break. That is why coffee pots are often made of low expansion glass, like Pyrex, to prevent high stress.
