However,if a sealed container fully filled with a liquid is heated,expansion will take place. The expansion may be so great that it will crack the container,because a liquid is not so compressible as a gas,and the heat supplied creates a great pressure.

• 然而，如果将一个充满液体的密封的容器加热，就会发生膨胀，这种膨胀可以大到使容器崩裂，因为液体不像气体那样是可压缩的，液体受热后往往产生巨大的压力。
