Why is hot water poured to a drinking glass more likely to break the glass?
The hot water will increase the temperature of the glass and cause the inside of the gas to expand faster than the outside.This will exert a force on the glass and the glass may crack.
If you poured oil into a glass of water would it sink or float?
it won't cuz
Why a thicks walled glass tumbler cracks on pouring boiling water into it?
The boiling water causes the inside surface of the thick glass to expand rapidly. But the outside of the glass expands at a much slower rate, as it takes time for the heat from the inside to reach the outside, and the expansion to equalise. It is this difference in expansion that can cause the glass to break.
Why does an empty glass cracks when you pour very hot water into it but does not crack if there is a metal spoon in it?
It will crack because like clay in a hot oven, if all the spots are not covered correctly, it will have a chance of cracking, but when the hot water gets into the crack, it will start to make it bigger. If the expansion is uneven, the glass will break and I don't understand why it won't break with a metal spoon.

Why would a milk bottle probably crack if boiling water were poured into it?
When you pour hot water into a glass bottle, it heats up the glass very quickly. This causes the glass to expand suddenly and the expansion is not uniform over the surface of the glass. The unequal expansion cracks the bottle.This will happen only if the temperature difference is quite high and the glass is weak.It is easier to crack a glass bottle by heating it (like in a dishwasher) and then cooling it immediately by placing it in or under a stream of cold water. Here, the sudden contraction causes the glass to crack.
Why does a frozen car windscreen crack when boiling water is poured on it?

Can you pour boiling water on crystal without cracking it?
If the glass is warm then you can, however when I put boiling water into a cold glass it smashed so ... Yes you can put boiling water into a glass, just not a cold one (Y) Yes... but if the room (and the glass) is cold, expect bad results... You might get lucky though... When I have a cold, I mix the cold medicine with hot water in a glass, and only once in my life has the glass ever smashed in those circumstances... I rarely put hot water into glasses otherwise...
