What else can I help you with?
When an empty glass is inverted into a tub of water. Why the water does not enter the glass?
The air pressure inside the glass is stronger than the water pressure outside, creating a barrier that prevents the water from entering the glass. This is due to atmospheric pressure pushing down on the surface of the water and keeping it from filling the inverted glass.
Can a large iceberg have more heat than a cup of boiling water?
No, a large iceberg contains much less heat energy compared to a cup of boiling water. The heat required to raise the temperature of an iceberg even slightly is much larger than that needed to reach boiling point for a cup of water.
Is glass fluid or solid at room temperature?
Glass is considered a solid at room temperature, even though it may appear to flow slowly over long periods of time.
Why does an ordinary glass tumbler crack if very hot water poured into it?
When hot water is poured into a cold glass tumbler, the sudden temperature change creates thermal stress in the glass. This stress can cause the glass to crack or even shatter due to uneven expansion of the glass material. It is recommended to avoid extreme temperature differences to prevent this from happening.
Does light travel faster through air water vacuum or glass?
Light travels fastest in a vacuum because there are no particles to slow it down. It slows down in air, even more in water, and even more in glass due to interactions with particles in those mediums.
Why the boiling point of water remains at 100 C even though heat is going on rising?
The boiling point is a physical property dependent only on pressure.
Why do you get burnt in water even though you have sunscreen on?
The water is shiny. The sun is a magnefying glass. The shiny water beams on the magnifying glass sun. Therefore, the sun reflects on the water - causing you to burn.
What type of mug will make boiling water cool down faster?
If the mug is made of glass, it will allow the water to cool faster. A thick styrofoam cup is better than a paper cup, even though the insulating properties of the materials are similar.
How does boiling water affect the hardness of water?
Boiling water does not affect the hardness of water. Hardness in water is caused by minerals like calcium and magnesium, which remain in the water even after boiling.
Is water acidic after boiling it?
Boiling it makes no difference to its acidity.
Drink boiling water?
You can drink boiled water not boiling water if you like to drink boiled water you can add a coffee or milo and even milk :)
What is glass dust in the lungs?
Well, if it is even possible, by breathing in glass by possibly smashing a glass in your mouth(I strongly recommend not even attempting to do that though).
Will hot water break a windshield?
Yes it can, you can actually try it on a glass by freezing it and puring on boiling water, Bang Goes The Theory on BBC actually showed that if you pure boiling water on a cracked or chipped windscreen it will crack it to even worse state then you have to pay £££££££ for buying a new one so DONT PURE BOILING OR HOT WATER ON FROZEN WINDSCREEN please tell others too, to don't do it
Does boiling water effectively remove chlorine and fluoride"?
Boiling water can remove some chlorine, but not fluoride. Chlorine evaporates when water is boiled, reducing its presence. However, fluoride remains in the water even after boiling.
Is it possible to change the temperature of a glass of water by stirring the water even though the glass is insulated from its surroundings?
No, stirring the water will not change the temperature of the water in an insulated glass. The insulation prevents heat transfer with the surroundings, so internal energy is conserved and stirring only affects the distribution of kinetic energy within the water, but not its overall temperature.
Is glass waterproof?
No. It is a solid. Even molten glass is not soluble in water.
Can you remove minerals from water by boiling it?
Boiling water can remove some minerals, but not all. Minerals that are dissolved in water, like calcium and magnesium, will remain even after boiling. Boiling can help remove some volatile minerals like chlorine, but a water filter is more effective for removing minerals from water.
