Liquid Nitrogen in a water bottle will explode because of pressure build up.
Liquid nitrogen vaporizes rather quickly and when it transitions from liquid to gas, the pressure increases if kept at the same volume.
Think of boiling water in a closed container. It is similar to that but liquid nitrogen evaporates at much lower temperature, it will explode at room temperature.
Let's say you submerged this water bottle below the boiling point of liquid nitrogen and put liquid nitrogen in the bottle, the bottle will not explode.
It is a mechanical explosion (simple transfer of forces) not a chemical explosion like with hydrogen where hydrogen gas ignites.

How many gallons are in 1 ton of liquid nitrogen?
.1483 GALLONS PER POUND FOR LIQUID NITROGEN 2000LBS X .1483 GALLONS/POUND = 296 GALLONS OF LIQUID NITROGEN IN 1 TON
What happens when you add liquid nitrogen to lava?
The liquid nitrogen has enough coldness to completely cool down lava, but also it has the exact same energy to make lava explode. Think of it as pouring liquid nitrogen on your hand, but if you don't put the right amount of heat (helium) and at the right time your your hand will fall off. Think of your hand falling off as explosion.
Is liquid nitrogen dangerous?
It is extremely dangerous, it can cause rapid freezing if it comes into contact with living tissue (skin). Also, if you put it in a closed container (like a Thermos bottle with the top screwed on tightly) that isn't strong enough to handle the buildup of pressure, it can actually cause the container to explode.
Is liquid nitrogen an element or compound?
Liquid nitrogen is an element.
Who discovered liquid nitrogen?
Bob discovered liquid nitrogen.
Does Liquid nitrogen explode with heat?
Yes, nitrogen does infact explode
Is it possible to have an explosion without oxygen?
Sure, e.g., liquid nitrogen will explode at room temperature if kept confined in a container such as a capped bottle.
How big is a 2 liter liquid nitrogen container?
About twice the size of a 2 liter soda bottle. Liquid nitrogen is extremely cold- the container must be vacuum insulated, or the liquid nitrogen quickly turn to gas.
Which product is most likely to explode if stored near a heater Hydrogen peroxide or Aerosol can or Liquid cleanser or a wine bottle?
it's the aerosol.
If you throw a fragile container filled with cold liquid nitrogen will it shatter and explode or freeze the surrounding area?
it would probablyexplode, because of the buildup
