"Explode" is a strong word. Glass can certainly break due to thermal shock, and if the glass is already stressed it may fracture with a certain amount of force, but it's generally more like a cap gun than like dynamite. A tightly sealed glass vessel could very well explode from the internal pressure buildup, particularly if the contents were partially liquid to start with ... but that has more to do with what's inside the glass than the glass itself.

What substances do not have flammable flammable properties?
Substances that do not have flammable properties include non-organic materials like water, glass, and plastics, as well as inert gases like helium and argon. These substances either do not support combustion or require high temperatures for ignition.
Is lead flammable?
No, lead is not flammable.
Is californium flammable?
Californium is not flammable, as it is a radioactive metal that does not support combustion.

What does cotton plastic wood and glass have in common?
None are flammable
Is Windex glass cleaner flammable?
There is no sign on the bottle to indicate so.
Why does plastic burn but glass does not?
Plastic is made from petroleum-based materials, which contain carbon and hydrogen atoms that can burn. In contrast, glass is made from sand and other minerals that do not contain flammable elements. When heated, plastic breaks down into combustible gases, while glass remains structurally stable due to its high melting point.
Can you sunburn through glass?
Yes. The burning rays pass through glass.

What are the uses of tempered glass?
carafe in coffee makers, windows in ovens, computer screens, skylights, shower doors, the back and side windows of passenger vehicles. * non- tempered glass if flammable; that is why tempered glass is used on those things.
Is a buret used to heat flammable liquids?
No, a buret is a glass tube with a stopcock at the bottom that is used for delivering precise quantities of a liquid. It is not designed for heating liquids, especially flammable ones, as it may break due to thermal expansion or cause a fire. Use proper lab apparatus like a heating mantle or hot plate for heating flammable liquids.
How does a magnifying glass start a fire?
A magnifying glass can start a fire by focusing sunlight into a small, intense beam that generates enough heat to ignite flammable materials like paper or dry leaves.
Can you start a fire with a magnifying glass"?
Yes, you can start a fire with a magnifying glass by focusing the sunlight through it onto a flammable material, such as dry leaves or paper, causing it to ignite due to the concentrated heat.
