Why do laboratory crucibles use ceramics instead of glass?

Answer:

Because the glass has a softening temperature, and the temperature is below 1000 DEG C, therefore, made of glass crucible at high temperature when the heating crucible may be softening deformation, and the glass crucible should not contact with alkaline substances.
Because the ceramic crucible heats the alkaline solution, the glass crucible doesn't work. If you have any help, please accept it. Then click on the top right corner of the phone. Thank you!!
The ceramic crucible does not soften and can withstand alkaline material.
