Water expands when it freezes so what happens if you completely fill a really strong container that can't expand with water and tried to freeze it in a freezer?
Water will freeze even under enormous pressure and expansion is not necessary for water to freeze. Depending on temperature and pressure, Ice can exist in 15 different phases (Ice I - Ice XV).
By compressing water for example at a temperature of -83 ºC (-117 ºF) and at 300 MPa, Ice II will form. Ice II is a rhombohedral crystalline form of ice. Your freezer is only cold enough for Ice I, so water would not turn to ice if you had a container strong enough to prevent expansion.

Will beer explode if placed in the freezer?
Yes, beer can explode if placed in the freezer because the liquid expands as it freezes, causing the container to burst.
Why does beer explode in the freezer?
Beer can explode in the freezer because the liquid inside expands as it freezes, causing pressure to build up inside the sealed container. This pressure can eventually cause the container to burst, leading to an explosion.
What is a freezer can?
A freezer can is the container part of an ice cream maker in which the ice cream freezes.
Will green tea expand in a freezer?
Yes. All tea expands when it freezes. All tea is mostly water and water expands when frozen.
Why do drink bottles explode when you freeze them in the freezer ful to the top with water?
Water has the peculiarity of expanding when it freezes. If the glass jar is completely filled, the expanding water is too large for the jar, and hence shatters the jar. Leaving a space of about an inch and a half i the jar will allow the water to freeze without breaking the glass.
Can beer explode in the freezer?
Yes, beer can explode in the freezer due to the expansion of liquid when it freezes, causing the container to burst.
Why does a glass bottle completely filled with water and tightly capped burst when placed in freezer?
When water freezes, it expands in volume. In a fully filled container like a glass bottle, the expanding ice has nowhere to go, exerting pressure on the container walls and causing it to burst. The pressure from the expanding ice overcomes the strength of the glass, leading to the bottle breaking.
What happens to frozen water in a paper cup?
it expands because water when it freezes becomes ice and ice expands in cold temperatures. Take a soda can for example put it in the freezer for about 20 min. it should have expanded by then. THANKS!
Why does the change of water from a liquid to a solid cause a container to break?
Water expands when it freezes and the container is less flexible at lower temperatures.
How long before soda expands in the freezer?
Soda typically expands in the freezer within about 1-2 hours, depending on the temperature of the freezer and the type of soda. As the liquid freezes, it expands, which can lead to the can or bottle bursting if left too long. To prevent this, it's best to check the soda after an hour and remove it once it starts to get slushy.
Will water expand into its shape of its container?
yes when water freezes it expands and takes the shape of whatever you put it in to begin with.
Why is it bad to put a bottle of water in a freezer?
Putting a bottle of water in the freezer can cause it to expand and potentially burst, leading to a mess and potential damage in the freezer. Water expands as it freezes, and the plastic may not be able to hold the increased volume.
