It's green.



Answer:

The colour of glass depends on the impurities it contains:

  • Colorless glass is glass that is completely transparent because it is devoid of color. This type of glass is carefully made to avoid the presence of color. It is used in optical lemse as well as food containers.

  • Green glass is usually "colored" using metals like iron, chromium or copper.

  • Blue glass is formed naturally as the result of iron impurities. Deeper blues result from the addition of cobalt oxide can be added during manufacturing.

  • Brown or "amber" glass contains nickel, sulfur and carbon.

  • Red glass for stained lgass work can be mad e by adding gold to the molten glass mass.

Will liquids stay hot in glass?

However, glass may not retain heat as effectively as some other materials like metal or ceramics. It's important to be cautious when handling hot liquids in glass containers to avoid burns or breakage.


Is hot glass cracking when placed in cold water a chemical or physical change?

Physical. The glass expands or contracts depending on temperature, when you put a hot glass into cold water part of the glass cools and contracts while some of it is still in it's hot, expanded state.


An old remedy for a pair of nested drinking glasses that stick together is to run water at different temperatures into the inner glass and over the surface of the outer glass which water will be hot?

The difference in temperature causes the inner glass to expand while the outer glass remains the same size, breaking the vacuum seal between them and allowing them to separate easily. It's important to be cautious with the hot water to avoid accidentally shattering the glass if it is too cold or thin.

What happens to the inside of a glass when YOU pour hot water?

When hot water is poured into a glass, the glass expands slightly due to the heat. This can create stress within the glass, potentially leading to cracks or breakage, especially if the glass is thin or has imperfections. It is best to use tempered glass or heat-resistant glassware for pouring hot liquids to minimize the risk of breakage.

Why is hot water poured to a drinking glass more likely to break the glass?

When hot water is poured into a drinking glass, the temperature difference between the hot water and the glass can cause uneven expansion, leading to stress in the glass material. If the stress exceeds the glass's structural integrity, it can result in the glass breaking. Rapid heating can also cause thermal shock, further increasing the likelihood of the glass breaking.
