Explain why a glass bottle filled with water will shatter if placed in a freezer?

Water has an interesting property, while cooling down, it contracts as most normal substances do. However, below 4F it begins to expand again. If the bottle has no opening for the water to expand out of, it will shatter as the water continues to expand as it cools below 4F.

∙ 11y agoThe water will slowly get colder and colder. Eventually it'll turn into ice. And as water expands a little when it turns into ice, odds are that the bottle will crack.
Interestingly, a bottle of hot water will freeze faster than a bottle of already cold water.

I'm assuming infinite hot water, at 190 F, and the ice cube being wedged into the top. Edit the question with specifics if you want specifics.

∙ 13y agobecause its full all the way to the top and as liquid gets colder it expands and it moves the glass out of the way so it shatters.

Explain why the container of water must be inverted when a gas is collected by displacement of water?
the collection of a gas over water involves a container in which the reaction takes place and a gas collection container filled with water and inverted in a reservoir of water. ...As the gas is created, it will displace water from the bottle. ...the container must be the sum of the pressures of the gas

Fill it with steam and quickly close the water bottle. You want the bottle to be filled with steam. Next, put it in the freezer. The steam will turn into liquid and so there won't be any air (there still some air.)
If glass bottle filled with water is placed in the freezer it breaks after some time because?
Assuming the container is filled to the top with minimal airspace, the water will freeze becoming ice. It will continue to get colder and start expanding until it fills the glass bottle and then force the glass to break as it continues to expand.
