When heat is applied to something, it tends to expand. When you pour hot water into something made out of glass, only the inside dilates, and the outside doesn't, since its temperature is cooler. If the insides enlarges but the outside doesn't, it cracks. For this reason thick glass is more likely to crack, and thinner glass is less likely.
Also, the bottom of the glass could expand, while the top doesn't (if the hot water goes straight to the bottom). In any case, the temperature is higher in one part of the glass and lower in another, so one part expands and another stays the same size.
The boiling water causes the inside surface of the thick glass to expand rapidly. But the outside of the glass expands at a much slower rate, as it takes time for the heat from the inside to reach the outside, and the expansion to equalise. It is this difference in expansion that can cause the glass to break.
During boiling, the amount of energy remains constant as the temperature of the substance stays the same until all of it has converted into vapor. Once boiling starts, the added heat energy is used to break the intermolecular bonds holding the liquid together, rather than increasing the temperature.
Water can evaporate without boiling when it reaches a certain temperature called the "boiling point." This happens when the water molecules gain enough energy to break free from the liquid and turn into vapor. Evaporation can occur at any temperature, not just the boiling point, as long as there is enough heat energy present to allow the water molecules to escape into the air.
Boiling water typically uses thermal energy, which is the energy associated with heat. When water reaches its boiling point, the thermal energy added to the water causes the water molecules to gain enough kinetic energy to break free from their liquid state and change into vapor.
Increasing pressure generally increases the melting and boiling points of a substance. This is because pressure forces molecules to be packed closer together, making it harder for them to break free from each other in the solid or liquid phase. Conversely, decreasing pressure lowers the melting and boiling points.
Some glasses break when you pour boiling water in it. To avoid that make sure you read a label that comes with that glass saying it can withstand boiling water or not.
A jar can break when boiling water is poured onto it after being taken out of the fridge due to thermal shock. The rapid temperature change causes the glass to expand unevenly, creating stress that can exceed the material's strength. If the stress is too great, it can lead to cracks or shattering. Additionally, if the jar has any existing flaws or weaknesses, these can exacerbate the risk of breakage.

To effectively extract compost from a tumbler, rotate the tumbler regularly to aerate the compost and break it up. Once the compost is ready, open the door or lid of the tumbler and use a shovel or scoop to remove the compost. Make sure to wear gloves and work in a well-ventilated area.
If we pour hot tea in glass tumbler the tumbler will expand and break off. So to prevent it we keep a metal spoon in it,as it is a conductor of heat it will absorb heat and prevents the glass from breaking.
A thick glass tumbler can break when hot water or tea is poured into it due to thermal stress. When the hot liquid contacts the cooler glass, the surface of the glass heats up and expands more quickly than the interior, leading to uneven expansion. This disparity creates stress that can cause the glass to crack or shatter. Additionally, flaws or imperfections in the glass can further weaken it, making it more susceptible to breaking under these conditions.
You can use a biodegradable plastic material, such as PLA (polylactic acid), which is derived from renewable resources like corn starch and can break down in composting environments. Alternatively, a paper-based tumbler, often coated with a water-resistant layer, can also be suitable for single-use and is typically recyclable or compostable.
solids cannot be poured , they cannot also change shape unless you bend it , break a bit of it or melt it. liquids can be poured. gases can not be condensed down
The strength of intermolecular forces is directly related to the boiling point of a substance. Substances with stronger intermolecular forces require more energy to break those forces, leading to a higher boiling point. Conversely, substances with weaker intermolecular forces have lower boiling points.
These lockers actually use a specialized double tumbler. This means that they will be far more difficult to break into compared to other lockers.
