    As your bottle was hanging on a metal rod which conducts electricity very effectively and your room might have been a bit cool. When you heated the glass right at where it contacted the cold rod of metal it got a differential of expansion and popped. You also put the flame right on the glass and and left it there where if you had put it in a kiln and slowly raise the temperature you probably could have gotten away with it and made it work without breaking the glass. You need even slow heating with glass that has a sensitivity to expansion differentials

    @vincentrobinette1507 5 лет назад +3

    What you really need, is a kiln, similar to what is used for firing ceramics. Bring the temperature up slowly, then, allow it to cool naturally, over several hours. That will avoid thermal shock, or temperature gradients, keeping the coefficient of expansion from exceeding the elastic limit of the glass. The whole process should take 4~5 hours, so there is minimal difference in temperature between any parts of the glass.

    The purple color is caused by Fe4+ ions forming in the glass matrix; the electron which was knocked out from Fe3+ stays nearby in a vacancy but cannot recombine until the glass is heated up. It has nothing to do with manganese, manganese oxide is used to oxidize intensely green Fe2+ into almost colorless Fe3+ during production - otherwise you would have a green beer bottle glass

  • @jhoughjr1

    Some forms of colored glass will turn one color in a reducing flame and a different color in an oxidizing flame. One such transition is between pastel blue (oxidizing) and brown (reducing). I'm not sure whether the glass color was changed just by the temperature, or if the fuel/air mixture may have also affected it.

    You should have slowly heated the glass to keep it from shattering. It fractures from thermal expansion

    I'm really surprised that the wrong term is used here. He means colourless, not clear. Both bottles are clear at the start as we can see through both of them, but the purple/blue one has colour. The opposite of clear would be cloudy. It is very important when scientifically describing things that you recognise the difference.

    Why in this world the purple glass bottle looks clearer than the clear one

    i noticed amethyst looses its colour when heated. Is that a similar process?
