If you throw a glass of water into the air when it is extremely cold can it freeze before it hits the ground?
In most conditions, no. Assuming you have the glass of water sitting at the same temperature as the outside environment, if the external temperature is low enough to be below freezing temperature (0 Celsius/32 Fahrenheit) then the water in the glass would already be frozen before it was thrown.
However, let's assume the water is in an above-freezing environment, then quickly taken into a below-freezing environment, and thrown from the glass before it can freeze inside the glass. I've seen videos of this happening, and the flying water particles do indeed freeze in mid-air, however since the water is so dispersed in the air it doesn't turn into a chunk of ice like you might expect, instead it turns into something resembling snow as it's thrown and flutters out in a cloud. From what I hear, for this to happen it needs to be somewhere around -50 Fahrenheit.

What is ground-up glass and how it looks?
Ground-up glass refers to glass that has been processed into small granules or powder. It can resemble fine sand or glitter, depending on the size of the particles. This material is commonly used in manufacturing products such as abrasives, insulation, and construction materials.
Why is it not advisable to use a ground glass stopper for a reagent bottle containing sodium hydroxide solution?
Over time, the sodium hydroxide will react with the smidges of carbon dioxide in air to produce sodium carbonate, the white, crusty powder that you find around the rim of plastic capped stock bottles (for example). This powder will either prevent the ground glass stopper from sealing properly and exposing the contents to more air, or will in fact cement the ground glass stopper in the bottle, and make it impossible to remove.
If you freeze a glass of water will the water contract?
Once i put a full glass of water in the freezer and totally forgot about it. The next day i opened the fridge and the glass was broken. I belive that ice expands and not contracts. If you see the discovery channel and see what happens to the ground in nature. Its like an inch taller than normal when frozen ... i think from personal observation.
A highly corked glass bottle full of water left outside on a frosty night bursts?
If a highly corked glass bottle full of water is left out of doors on a frosty night it will burst because the water contained in the bottle will freeze on a frosty night and convert into ice. There is no room available for the increased volume and this may result in bursting of the bottle.
Can you freeze liquor with liquid nitrogen?
About the temperature of dry ice. It is the same as putting frozen water (ice) in a glass of water. The temperature of the ice and water will be about equal to the freezing point of water. Alcohol is used because it has a freezing point lower than H2O, if you put dry ice in water everything will freeze.
Can a glass break before it hits the ground?
It is unlikely that a glass will break before it hits the ground. The glass may experience tiny fractures which will cause it to break upon impact.
What happends if you freeze a glass of water?
The glass may break.
What is ground glass?
It can either be glass that has been ground to a powder, or two glass surfaces that have been ground to fit together precisely, such as a glass stopper in a glass chemical bottle.

Can metal freeze on glass?
I had a 1975 Chevy pickup truck that I was welding on the door. The molten steel fell on the window and fused itself to it. I ruined the glass and learned that you can indeed have metal freeze on glass.
Can you freeze a frosted cake in a glass cake pan?
Of course. Glass won't crack!
Which can freeze faster canned coke or glass coke?
Coke that has been poured into a glass will freeze faster than coke that is in an unopened can. Pressure of the can will prevent it from freezing.
Can foods be frozen in glass jars?
Yes they can.
Can you freeze ground cloves?
In a cool, dark, airtight glass container ground cloves typically last for around 6 months. But if you want longer lasting cloves than i would go for whole cloves. They last for about a year. Hope i helped!
Why is it important to grease a ground glass joint before using it?
It is important to grease a ground glass joint before using it to create a tight seal and prevent leaks or damage to the glassware. Greasing the joint helps to ensure a secure connection and smooth assembly, which is crucial for accurate and safe experimentation in a laboratory setting.
Why does double glazing glass freeze on outside?
Double glazing glass can freeze on the outside when there is a significant temperature difference between the inside and outside of a building. The glass on the outer pane becomes cold from the outside temperature, causing any moisture in the air to condense and freeze on the surface. Proper insulation and sealing can help prevent this issue.
