Glass has different melting points depending on what the composition of the glass actually is. Standard soda lime glass (the most common kind of glass) melts at something on the order of 1500 °C, or about 2700 °F, while top drawer silicon oxide has a glass melting point of in excess of 2300 °C, or some 4200 °F.

2nd Answer:
. . . and glass does boil at about 2230 degrees C. That's warm!!

What must the melting point of the mold be compared to the temperature at which glass gets soft and why?
The melting point of the mold must be higher than the melting point of glass, or else it would not be able to hold the soft glass in the correct shape.
What is the melting point of a Pyrex test tube?
A glass hasn't a true melting point. The softening point of Pyrex glass is between 800 °C and 850 °C.
What is the difference between Tempered Glass and Annealed Glass and which one is better?
Tempering is the process to add properties to the raw glass and to make it Standard or Toughened. If tempered (Heated) and cooled slowly, it becomes standard glass on the other hand if tempered and cooled rapidly, it gains different properties and becomes tough or is called toughened glass. Check the link below.
Can tempered glass randomly explode?
yes
What is the difference between tempered glass and annealed glass?
Tempered glass and standard annealed glass are made the same way. The difference is in the cooling process. Tempered is cooled very quickly. This produces a stronger glass. Annealed is cooled slowly, producing a strong glass, but not as strong as tempered. When annealed glass breaks it will break or crack at the location of impact relative to the force of the impact. The broken shards can be of varying sizes. When tempered glass breaks it just shatters entirely into small pieces. The smaller pieces are safer and thus are used in places where safety would be an issue. One issue with tempered glass is that it cannot be drilled. This is a byproduct of its shattering quality. Annealed glass can be drilled, provided the proper tools and procedures are used.

The melting point of the mold must be higher than the melting point of glass, or else it would not be able to hold the soft glass in the correct shape.
Can laminated glass be tempered?
Tempered glass can be laminated, but laminated glass cannot be tempered.

What is the melting point of glass rod?
The melting point of glass rods can vary depending on the composition of the glass. However, most common types of glass rods have a melting point between 1300°C and 1500°C (2372°F to 2732°F).

What is the Difference between herculite tempered glass and herculite tempered safety glass?
Herculite tempered glass is a type of tempered glass that has been processed to increase its strength and safety. Herculite tempered safety glass is a specific brand of tempered safety glass known for its durability and resistance to impact. The main difference is that Herculite tempered safety glass is a branded version of tempered safety glass, possibly with additional features or specifications.
What is the melting point of glass slide?
it will depend upon the glass that you are using.
Why urea has sharp melting point but glass does not?
Urea is a pure crystalline compound so has a sharp melting point while glass is an amorphous mixture.
What is the melting point of copper diamond and glass?
The melting point of copper is 1084,62 0C. Diamond burn on heating in air; under pressure of a inert gas the melting point may be approx. 4 000 0C. This depends on the type of glass; also glass hasn't a true melting point. Glasses are melted over 400 0C.
