When a lid is placed on a container, the air inside heats up and expands when submerged in warm water. This increase in pressure inside the container helps lift the lid off more easily because the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the container increases, making it easier to break the seal between the lid and the container.

Why Water droplets form on the under cover of a pot of warm rice?
Water droplets form on the underside of a pot of warm rice due to condensation. When warm air comes into contact with a cooler surface, it loses its ability to hold moisture, causing the water vapor in the air to condense into liquid droplets on the cooler surface.
Why is it easier to remove a metal lid off a glass jar when soaked with hot water?
Soaking the metal lid in hot water causes it to expand slightly, making it easier to break the seal with the glass jar. The heat also helps to soften any adhesive or food residue that may be holding the lid in place, making it easier to twist off.
Why wont water leave a covered pot when boiling?
When there's a lid on the pot, the pressure of the steam builds up until the steam raises the lid a tiny amount (you may feel the lid floating on its rim since it will spin easily) and the water escapes the pot in the form of steam or water vapor. A pressure cooker is a pot with a lid firmly attached to the pot via clamps or some other means. This does prevent the water from leaving the pot. A large build up of pressure can cause the pot to explode, To prevent this a pressure cooker has escape valve(s) built in to release steam when the pressure is too high.Then water will leave the pot.
Why does more water evaporate from a jar wityhout a lid than a jar with a lid?
Imagine the air surrounding the water is like a sponge. When the lid is closed, only the air in the jar acts like a sponge, so we have a very small sponge. When the lid is open, ideally all the surroundig air acts like a sponge, and that is very big.
Why does a can a metal lid open after running hot water over it?
The hot water causes the metal lid to expand, making it easier to break the seal between the lid and the can. This allows air pressure to equalize inside and outside the can, making it easier to open.
Why is warm water used to remove a tightly sealed metal cap from a glass bottle?
The warm water will cause the metal lid to expand if poured mainly on the lid. This expansion will often loosen the grip of the lid and it can be unscrewed. Sometimes, gently tapping the side of the lid on the floor several times, has the same affect of loosening the lid.
How does hot water make a lid easier to remove?
The hot water expands the lid slightly.
How do you keep hot water warm in a glass jar?
Cover it with a thick lid.
Why does the lid of a jam bottle opens easily when the neck with the lid is put in hot water?
It loosens because the particles relax
How might you keep the water warm longer after you remove it from the sunlight?
You can insulate the container with a towel or place it in a thermos to keep the water warm longer after removing it from sunlight. Additionally, using a lid or covering the container will help retain the heat. Finally, placing the container in a warm spot indoors can also help maintain the water temperature.
Why are jar lids immersed in water for a few seconds?
Short answer: This is normally done when a lid is too tight to unscrew. Placing the lid in warm or hot water loosens the lid a little so someone can get to the contents of the jar easier. Long answer: Metal reacts to heat at a lower temperature than glass does. When a metal lid is placed in warm or hot water, the lid expands outwardly from its center. This will cause the lid to loosen its grip on the jar making it easier for a user to unscrew the lid. It's simple science and a neat trick.
How does placing a lid over a hot cup of water keeps it warm?
no it do not keep it longer
How does pouring hot water on a lid helps to remove it from a glass jar?
The lid will expand and loosen the grip on the jar.
How can I effectively clean a water bottle lid?
To effectively clean a water bottle lid, you can use warm soapy water and a brush to scrub away any dirt or residue. Make sure to rinse the lid thoroughly and allow it to air dry before using it again. Alternatively, you can also use a mixture of water and vinegar to disinfect the lid.
Why do you use hot water to remove a tight metal cap easily?
Often, lids are made of metals which are great conductors of electromagnetic waves (including heat). When warm water is applied to a "difficult" lid, excitement of the atoms in the metal occurs (very slight) which causes a slight expansion. This expansion helps the lid to be moved from it's grip on the jar or bottle. This is also found in plastics. Although not through expansions. The heat from the warm water literally softens the plastic.
Why does placing a jar under warm running water help loosen the lid?
There are two ways that putting a jar under warm water helps loosen the lid. When heated, materials expand. So the air in the jar could expand, reducing any internal suction. Secondly, the metal cap could expand so as to not have as much friction with the rest of the jar.
Why Water droplets form on the under cover of a pot of warm rice?
Water droplets form on the underside of a pot of warm rice due to condensation. When warm air comes into contact with a cooler surface, it loses its ability to hold moisture, causing the water vapor in the air to condense into liquid droplets on the cooler surface.
