Final answer:The statement 'Hot glass looks the same as cold glass' is true since glass's appearance doesn't change with temperature changes that can be visually identified. Glass is an amorphous solid and behaves differently from metals in terms of thermal expansion and other properties. Additionally, the myth that glass can flow over time has been debunked.Explanation:The statement 'Hot glass looks the same as cold glass' is true. Glass does not change its appearance based on temperature to the extent that it can be visually identified as hot or cold. This can be dangerous as there is potential for burns if one mistakenly touches hot glass thinking it is cool.Regarding thermal properties, glass is an amorphous solid (non-crystalline) material at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. It behaves differently from metals, which have higher coefficients of expansion. For instance, when it's exposed to changes in temperature, a metal lid might become easier or harder to open when compared to a glass jar due to the metals' higher expansion rates.In terms of phase change and latent heat, for a glass of water at 31 degrees Celsius, the state of matter isliquid. It's also noteworthy that certain myths, like the idea that glass can flow like a liquid over time, have been debunked. Observations such as older windows being thicker at the bottom are now attributed to manufacturing methods rather than the flow of glass over time....
