Why the Glass breaks , when we put warm or hot water into the glass

when we put warm or hot water, it leads to the expansion of the glass in the parts which are touched by the hot water but the glass doesn't conduct this heat and thus it breaks due to differential thermal expansion
however borosilicate glass doesn't break when hot water is poured as it is much stronger and tensile

mandaldebankur: no madam !! it is due to when we put warm water in the thick glass, the inner side of the glass expands on heating but the outer surface take much time to expand thus the glass breaks

Hey mate !
________

○ Materials like glass expand when heated and shrink when cooled. When parts are at different temperatures, they stretch like a spring to counteract the tension.

○ But , If the tension and internal forces exceed the elastic limit of the material, then a crack forms and rapidly propagates.

○ Some glasses like pyrex are designed specifically to have low thermal expansion and thus less likelihood of breaking under thermal stress.

Hope it helps !

mandaldebankur: No rounak !! it is due to when we put warm water in the thick glass, the inner side of the glass expands on heating but the outer surface take much time to expand thus the glass breaks
