Question

Among solids, liquids and gases, where is expansion the maximum due to heat?
Why does a glass tumbler break when we pour very hot liquid into it?​

Answer 1

An increase in temperature results in the expansion of the liquid which means it rises up the glass. ... Heat causes the molecules to move faster, (heat energy is converted to kinetic energy ) which means that the volume of a gas increases more than the volume of a solid or liquid.

Answer 2

Answer:

When you pour hot water into a glass (which is at room temperature), the inner layer of the glass will absorb heat. When a material absorbs heat, it expands. Glass is no exception to that. ... If the glass is unable to hold up against the large pressure, the glass will crack
