Which substance can be compressed in a jar to change its volume?
Air can be compressed in a jar by applying pressure, which changes its volume. This can be demonstrated by using a vacuum pump to remove air from the jar, causing the remaining air to compress.
Can a beaker measure kilograms?
Generally, a beaker (a glass jar) is used to measure volume (litres, gallons, pints, etc), not mass (kilograms, pounds, stone, etc). However, if you know the volume and density of the material in the beaker, you should be able to calculate its mass in kilograms. Density = Mass/Volume (mass over volume)
Can plastic jars be used for canning hot fruit?
No. Because to seal a jam jar you have to boil it in a large pot of water for several minutes. If the jar was plastic it would melt and poison your jam. Which is probably not the result you're looking for! So in other words you need to use glass.Answer:Actually, yes, if--and only if--you are making freezer jam.
