Thermal expansion can cause the lid of a jar to expand, making it more difficult to open. This is because as the temperature increases, the metal lid expands, creating a tighter seal with the glass jar. This increased tightness can make it harder to break the initial seal and twist open the jar.
What else can I help you with?
How does thermal expansion help open a jar?
When a jar is heated, such as by running it under hot water, the metal lid expands more than the glass jar. This difference in expansion creates a temporary looseness between the lid and the jar, making it easier to open due to reduced friction. This process is known as thermal expansion.
How could you use thermal expansion to help get a tight lid off a jam jar?
You can run the lid under hot water to heat it up, causing it to expand slightly and loosen its grip on the jar. Alternatively, you can use a hair dryer to heat the lid for the same effect. Be careful not to overheat the lid or the jar to avoid potential damage.
How does heat cause a jar to seal tight when in general heat causes objects to expand?
Heat should not cause a jar to seal more tightly. There is an excellent reason for this, and it lies in the physics of the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of materials. If you run hot water on the (stuck) lid of a glass jar, the jar will undergo only a little thermal expansion. The metal lid however, will expand more than the glass, and will do it more rapidly, too. Running a jar under a bit of hot water should act to loosen the lid instead of tighten it. The CTE of metals is higher than that of glass, and the lid, because it is metal, will also have a higher rate of thermal conductivity than the glass. Thermal energy will move through it more quickly to change its size. This double whammy should not cause the lid of the jar to tighten. If the lid is still stuck, then insufficient force has been applied to it to get it unstuck. Increased care is indicated as efforts are redoubled to remove the lid.
Will the jar contract or expand when heated?
Heat would cause the molecules to speed up movement and expand metals. Glass melts, paper burns, clay would shrink as water vapor escapes, etc.
Why does the amount of water in a jar affect the distance it can roll?
The amount of water in the jar affects its weight, which in turn affects its momentum and ability to roll. More water increases the weight of the jar, making it harder to move and decreasing the distance it can roll.

What is a jar with its lid on tightly an example of?
Thermal expansion and contraction, specifically the different coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE) between glass and metal....AND ITS LIKE A (CLOSED SYSTEM)
Why you can heat up the lid of a jar to make it easier to open?
Heating the lid of a jar causes the metal to expand slightly, which can help loosen its grip on the jar. As the lid heats up, it expands more than the glass jar, reducing the friction and making it easier to twist open. This thermal expansion effect allows for a better seal break, facilitating the jar's opening.
How does pouring hot water on a lid helps to remove it from a glass jar?
The lid will expand and loosen the grip on the jar.

Why is canning neckessary to leave some space at the top of the jar befoere sealing it?
Leaving space at the top of the jar, known as headspace, is necessary in canning to allow for the expansion of food and the formation of a proper seal during the heating process. This space accommodates the thermal expansion of the contents as they heat up and helps ensure that the lid can seal properly, preventing contamination and spoilage. Additionally, it allows for the escape of air bubbles, which can affect the integrity of the seal if not properly managed.
What happens to the particles on the metal lid when it is run inder hot water?
When a metal lid is run under hot water, the particles in the lid gain kinetic energy and vibrate more rapidly due to the increased temperature. This thermal expansion causes the metal to expand slightly, which can create a looser fit around the jar's opening. As a result, the lid may become easier to remove as the gap between the lid and jar increases.
What is a longlife wide mouth canning jar?
These are commonly known as Mason jars. Mason is a brand, but there are several others. It is a heat resistant glass jar that allows for a metal screw on ring to be used as a lid. The come with different sized opening. The wide mouth has a larger opening than the standard.

in one of the gas jars the gas goes out immediately. name the gas in the jar?
If the gas jar is standing with its opening to the top, then the escaping gas is Hydrogen. If the gas jar is being held upside down ( opening to the bottom), then the escaping gas is carbon dioxide.
