Best Answer

The temperature contrasts would cause differential expansion of the bottle which, being brittle, would cause the glass to crack.

What happens when you put a filled plastic water bottle in an open fire?

In the first place the water in the bottle would keep the temperature of the plastic down preventing it from burning and leaking, The same as you would do by boiling water over a flame in a paper cup, However the water in the bottle would heat up and eventually the pressure inside the bottle would burst it like a balloon.

Why do different elements emits different colored lights when they are subjected to flame?

When the element is subjected to flame, the electrons are in a high energy state. When they come back down to a stable state energy is released in the form of light. The color emitted depends on the amount of energy released.The different colors of the light emitted are caused by the different quantities of electrons losing energy in different elements.
