What is the advantage of placing a metal lid on a glass jar?

The temperature increase in the lid expands the metal lid and the glass jar, but because most metals expand more quickly than glass, the lid becomes looser, making it easier to open the jar. This occurs because at higher temperatures, objects have higher kinetic energies, so their particles vibrate more.

What happens to the particles in a metal lid when it is run under hot water?

When objects are heated, they tend to expand, and when they are cooled, they tend to contract. You can use this to open glass jars with tight metal lids by running the lids under hot water. This occurs because at higher temperatures, objects have higher kinetic energies, so their particles vibrate more.
