Glass is typically made from a mixture of silica sand, soda ash, and limestone, which is heated to around 1700°C (3092°F) to melt and form glass. This high temperature allows the ingredients to fuse together and form a molten glass that can be shaped and molded.

Why is pyrex glass less likely to crack when subject to a rapid temperature change?

Pyrex glass is less likely to crack when subjected to rapid temperature changes because it is made with borosilicate glass, which has a higher thermal shock resistance compared to regular glass. The composition of borosilicate glass allows it to handle quick temperature changes without breaking due to its low coefficient of thermal expansion.

You need to heat a solid to a temperature of 250 and deg Celsius. What would be the most appropriate type of glassware to use?

A glass beaker or flask made of borosilicate glass would be appropriate as it is capable of withstanding high temperatures without cracking or shattering. Avoid regular soda-lime glassware as it may not be able to withstand the high temperature.
