Does a capped empty plastic water float or not?
Yes, a capped, empty, plastic water bottle will almost always float in water. This is because the density of plastic water bottles (the 12- or 20-oz kind) is very low compared to water itself. As long as it is empty and capped, no water will enter the bottle while it is tipped over in the liquid, and so it will not be weighed down by the addition of any liquid.
Will a glass bottle explode when you take it to high altitudes?
Maybe yes, maybe no. Do you mean a capped bottle or an open bottle? Small bottle or large, just how high is 'high altitude' and what type of temperature are you at? There are certainly a lot of variables to consider. If you simply took an open / empty bottle to high altitude (or even space) there is nothing inherent to the glass which would make it explode. If you sealed a bottle at sea level, (air pressure at sea level is about 15 lbs per square inch (psi) and took that into the vacuum of space, the bottle would then "feel" the 15 psi of internal pressure. Would that cause it to explode? Again, maybe yes, maybe no. Most bottles which hold carbonated beverages can hold 100psi or higher. A thick champaign bottle may hold significantly more than that, so they would be OK. However a designer perfume bottle or a twisty 'art glass' bottle which isn't designed to hold any pressure may break. Additionally because pressure is multiplied by area to get overall force, a small bottle may be OK while a large bottle may break. For a given pressure, the large bottle simply contains more force than a small bottle. Additionally, with very high altitude comes low temperatures and/or high temperature gradients (very hot in the sun, very cold in shadow). These thermal stresses may cause a liquid in the bottle to freeze and rupture the bottle, or the bottle may break from the high thermal stresses.
What is the highest decibel level that earphones should allow in order to avoid damaging the hearing of a person?
Any sound above 85 decibels can be damaging to your ear drums. To mitigate this, earphones should be capped between 80 and 85 decibels because prolonged usage above 85 can be very damaging.

Why does a plastic bottle filled completely with water and capped tightly burst open when left in the freezer overnight?
The water expanded when turned into ice. As there was no air space in the bottle, the plastic failed under the pressure.
How can you create low pressure in a capped bottle?
Freeze the bottle.

How long can you keep flavored vodka that's been opened?
Many years .. keep it capped tightly to avoid evaporation.
Does acetone have long shelf life?
As long as it is tightly capped it will stay good forever. I have some in cans 5-6 years old.
A tightly capped bottle of hydrogen peroxide is placed on a mass scale a balance and exposed to light for three weeks The mass reading on the scale does not change This is an example of the Law.?
The law of conservation of mass. Although the H2O2 has broken down to H2 and O2 the overall mass of the bottles contents is the same.
