Water freezing in bottle when opened happens in the case of supercooled water. This water has been cooled below freezing point without being crystallized.

If you leave your water bottle in the snow while you're out snowshoeing the water may?

If you leave your water bottle in the snow while snowshoeing, the water may freeze, especially if temperatures are low. This can make it difficult to drink when you need hydration. Additionally, if the bottle is not insulated, the freezing process could expand the liquid, potentially damaging the bottle or causing leaks. It's best to keep your water bottle close to your body or in an insulated pouch to prevent freezing.


How long is sterile water sterile for after opening bottle. I understand that suppliers of the sterile water can not vouch for the conditions and therefore the sterility after the bottle is opened.?

a) if the water is PERFECTLY sterile and the bottle is PERFECTLY closed, the water would stay sterile years and years and years. b) but if the water in the bottle is not 100% sterile or the bottle is not 100% closed (which is more likely) some germs & co migth slowly multiply ... as their number is expected to be relatively low, you can consider the water to be sterile (or at least the number of the little creatures to be nonrelevant) up until the date on the bottle


Does freezing a water bottle make the outside of it wet?

Not exactly.The water that appears on the outside of the icy bottle is condensation of the water vapor in the air around the bottle. The cold temperature of the ice in the bottle causes the condensation. There are lots of water molecules in air -- there is more water in the air on a humid day then on a hot dry day, but there is always some water in the air. When air is cooled by coming in contact with the icy bottle, it condenses, and goes from being a gas to being a liquid (just like how steam turns back into water when it cools). It is the condensed water from the air that makes the outside of the bottle wet.If a cold bottle was in air that had no water vapor in it (unlikely except in a laboratory), then it would not get wet.


I know about the freeze your bottle of water by shaking it or slamming it against a table but why and or how does it work?

When you shake or slam a bottle of water, you introduce kinetic energy to the water inside. This motion disrupts the formation of ice crystals, preventing the water from freezing immediately. Once you stop shaking or hitting the bottle, the water is supercooled and can freeze instantly when disturbed, such as by opening the bottle or tapping it.


Why does the ice break the plastic bottle?

By freezing the volume increase.

Can a water bottle freeze instantly?

No, a water bottle cannot freeze instantly. The freezing process requires time for the water to reach the freezing point and solidify into ice.


How can I prevent my Nalgene bottle from freezing in cold temperatures?

To prevent your Nalgene bottle from freezing in cold temperatures, try insulating it with a bottle sleeve or wrapping it in a towel. You can also fill it with warm or hot water before heading out into the cold. Additionally, storing the bottle upside down can help prevent the water from freezing at the mouth of the bottle.


Why is my water bottle bubbly?

Your water bottle may be bubbly due to carbonation or gas dissolved in the water, which creates bubbles when the bottle is opened or shaken.


What happens when a bottle of boiling water is surrounded by freezing water?

The boiling water cools and the freezing water warms up until they are both at the same temperature.


Why do freezing water bottles explode?

Freezing water bottles can explode because water expands when it freezes, creating pressure inside the bottle that can cause it to burst.


Why are there little bubbles in my water bottle?

The little bubbles in your water bottle are likely caused by gases dissolved in the water, such as carbon dioxide. When the bottle is opened or shaken, these gases are released and form bubbles.

Filling a water bottle all the way to the top and tightening the cap is not a good idea if you plan to freeze it why?

Water expands when it freezes, so filling a water bottle all the way to the top before freezing can cause it to burst. Leaving some space at the top allows for the expansion to occur without damaging the bottle.


Why does a cold bottle of water freeze when it is hit sharply against a counter?

Water is an unusual liquid in that it expands as it freezes. This can cause it to break a glass container as the water content freezes.

How is it possible for a water bottle to freeze instantly?

When a water bottle is supercooled below its freezing point without any disturbance, it can freeze instantly when it is agitated or disturbed, causing the water molecules to rapidly crystallize and solidify.


How can I prevent my pet's water from freezing during cold weather?

You can prevent your pet's water from freezing during cold weather by using a heated water bowl or placing a heated water bottle in their water dish. Additionally, you can bring the water dish indoors overnight or use an insulated water bowl to help keep the water from freezing.
