When a glass of cold water is placed in a pot of boiling water, the heat from the boiling water rapidly transfers to the cold water. This causes the temperature of the cold water to rise as it absorbs the heat, leading to a gradual warming of the cold water. If the glass is not thermally resistant, it may crack or shatter due to the sudden temperature change. Overall, the cold water will eventually reach a temperature closer to that of the boiling water.

Why shouldn't you pour boiling water into a cold glass?

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.


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...

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.


Describe what would happen to a cold empty glass if it was suddenly placed in a hot humid room?

Water vapors are condensed on the cold surface.


What will happen if one glass inked cold water placed inverted over another inked hot water glass?

It would make a warm inked water! (I think this may not be true)


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.


What is the temperature of a glass of cold water?
