A lighter can explode if it is exposed to extreme heat or if the pressure inside the lighter becomes too high, causing it to rupture. Using a lighter with a cracked or damaged casing can also increase the risk of explosion.
It can. Helium is compressed and put into tanks under pressure. The tanks are tested and all that to insure they're safe, but if they are exposed to intense heat or severe mechanical shock, or if they have a defect, they can fail. This is a mechanical failure and there will be a tremendous release of mechanical energy - a blast. But this explosion is different than a chemical explosion due to combustion or oxidation of the gas, like with a propane tank. Helium is an inert gas, and it cannot explode chemically. But make no mistake about it - tank failure under pressure can have dire consequences. People have been killed in the explosion of compressed gas cylinders, even when the gas isn't combustible.
Strange question! If caught in molten lava they will certainly catch fire, and yes the tyres and petrol tank could well explode.
No. Firstly, helium will not explode chemically as it is inert. Secondly, if you wanted to increase the pressure in the tank, you'd have to heat it, not cool it. If the tank material were faulty, it might conceivably crack but in that case the helium would just escape.
If a battery is heated excessively, it can cause damage to its internal components. The heat can increase the rate of chemical reactions within the battery, leading to faster degradation of the electrodes and electrolyte. Additionally, excessive heat can also cause the battery to leak, bulge, or even explode in extreme cases. It is important to avoid exposing batteries to high temperatures to ensure their proper functioning and longevity.
The heat can cause the air inside the balloon to expand, increasing the pressure beyond what the balloon can handle, leading to an explosion. Helium or not, any sealed container in extreme heat can experience this pressure buildup.
Yes, a beer can can explode if left in extreme heat for an extended period of time due to the pressure build-up from the expanding gases inside the can.
A lighter can explode if it is exposed to extreme heat or if the pressure inside the lighter becomes too high, causing it to rupture. Using a lighter with a cracked or damaged casing can also increase the risk of explosion.
River rocks can explode when exposed to extreme heat, such as in a fire, due to the expansion of water trapped inside the rocks.
If exposed to extreme heat yes the mercury will expand until the glass tube explodes
Rocks do not typically explode in fire. However, some rocks, like certain types of volcanic rocks, can explode when exposed to extreme heat due to trapped gases or water vapor inside them.

Yes, in a way.
No, the seal will melt and let out the co2 before the aluminum body ruptures. if it is continually heated after that, then it may form an air pocket and explode. Do not put them in extreme heat.
Canned goods can explode if exposed to extreme heat, or if they are dented and have even a pin-sized hole in them. The hole can cause air to come in, and can cause Botulism, a deadly paralytic toxin. You can't always tell if it contains Botulism, however, the key sign is to look for is a foamy liquid inside. Botulism can lead to respiratory failure.
