Pouring boiling water into a cold glass can cause the glass to shatter due to the extreme temperature difference. The sudden expansion and contraction of the glass can cause it to crack or break. It is safer to gradually heat up the glass or use tempered glass that is designed to withstand thermal shocks.

What effect do glass beads have on the boiling point of water?

bringing water to boil is effective in killing or inactivating most bacteria viruses and pathogens .according to the wilderness medical society water temperatures above 160 degree kill all pathogens


When cold water is poured into a glass the glass becomes colder?

When cold water is poured into a glass, heat energy is transferred from the glass to the water, causing the glass to become colder. The glass loses heat as it transfers it to the colder water until thermal equilibrium is reached.


What would happen if you poured boiling water into a jar?

Glass is a great conductor of heat but it doesn't hold it long. If you were to stick 212o (Fahrenheit) water into a glass jar it would begin bringing the glass jar to the same temperature as the water on the inside very quickly (equilibrium). It also begins building pressure, so If a lid is on the jar it could potentially explode the jar sending boiling liquid and glass shards everywhere.


Why do water droplets form of the outside of a glass of a cold drink?

Water droplets form on the outside of a glass of a cold drink when warm, humid air comes into contact with the cold surface of the glass. The air near the glass cools down and its moisture condenses into liquid water droplets, creating the phenomenon known as condensation.


What process is most direly responsible for the formation of water droplets on the outside of the glass of cold water?

Condensation is the process responsible for the formation of water droplets on the outside of a cold glass. When warm, moist air comes into contact with the cold surface of the glass, it cools down and reaches its dew point, causing water vapor in the air to turn into liquid water droplets on the glass.

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...


Is it correct to say a cold glass of water or a glass of cold water?

Why does boiling water turn to vapor in the cold?

Boiling water turns to vapor in the cold because the temperature difference between the hot water and the cold air causes the water to evaporate and turn into vapor.


Why sodium chloride is soluble in cold water but not in boiling water?

Sodium chloride is also soluble in boiling water.


Is the composition of bubbles in boiling water the same as the bubbles that appear when cold water heats up?

They are the same. When cold water heats up and bubbles that means it is boiling.

Can boiling water freeze in the air?

No, boiling water cannot freeze in the air. Boiling water needs to cool down before it can freeze, and the air is not cold enough to freeze boiling water instantly.


Can steel be rusted by cold luke and boling water?

It requires water and oxygen. Cold, lukewarm, or boiling water will do it. Boiling can introduce some other types of errosion/corrosion, also.

Which water should be cold and cold when doing a old remedy for a pair of nested drinking glasses?

Put cold water inside the glasses. Dip the outer glass into hot water. The outer glass expands, the inner glass contracts.


How does boiling water behave in cold air?

When boiling water is exposed to cold air, it cools down quickly and starts to condense into steam. The steam may appear as fog or mist as it interacts with the cold air.
