Depending on how old the car is I.E mileage. It may be a head gasket issue. Right around 100000 miles the head gaskets "go"

I have a 95 spirit and noticed after a VERY short amount of time/driving (quicker in hot weather or faster speeds) the temp gauge would skyrocket and my check engine light was coming on.

Well my head gasket was in bad shape causing me to lose oil and the engine getting too hot. Pricey repair too.

What happens when a flask is heated up with a burner after ten minutes?

If a flask is heated up with a burner for ten minutes, the temperature of the liquid inside the flask will increase. This increase in temperature can lead to changes in the properties of the liquid, such as expansion, evaporation, or chemical reactions, depending on the type of liquid and the temperature reached. It is important to monitor the temperature carefully to prevent overheating or boiling over.
