As water freezes and becomes ice it expands in volume.

If a bottle is half-filled with water and then frozen, the bottle should remain intact because the volume of air in the bottle will contract as the water/ice expands and so the airspace will accommodate the final volume of the ice.

If the bottle is completely filled with water and then frozen, the bottle will most likely break because there is no airspace to 'absorb' the expansion of the water/ice. As the freezing is a relatively slow process, the bottle will not explode, but will in all likelyhood crack and may break apart.

NO!!!! Just run the bottle with a closed top under hot or warm water for 1-3 minutes. It won't totally unfreeze it, but it should enough for you to be able to drink it.

What happens if you put bottle sterilizer in microwave without water?

If you put a bottle sterilizer in the microwave without water the microwave will likely overheat and may be damaged. Additionally the bottle sterilizer itself may melt warp or be damaged in other ways. It is important to always use water with the bottle sterilizer when microwaving it. Here are some steps to follow when microwaving a bottle sterilizer: Fill the bottle sterilizer with the recommended amount of water. Place the bottle sterilizer in the microwave. Set the microwave to the recommended time and power level. Allow the sterilizer to cool once the cycle is complete.Failing to follow these steps can lead to damage to your microwave and bottle sterilizer so it is important to proceed with caution when microwaving a bottle sterilizer.

How to instantly freeze water bottle?

What you do is you put a water bottle horizontally in your freezer for 2-4 hours if you open it and its frozen heat the water bottle to room temp. (forgot to mention that it is easier to do it when room temp) then once you find the time where its not frozen but very cold water you take it out very gently and make it vertical again like normal and then hit the bottom of the water bottle against a hard surface and watch it freeze. p.s.-it is best if the water bottle is unsealed if it is not them boil some water and put it in a bottle but it is not as good.

First of all not quite sure why you would have a frozen banana, but regardless. The fire is most likely due to the fact that the microwave excites the water molecules, ie. ice, and may cause the potassium to burn with enough friction.
