Why a sealed bottle partially filled with a liquid can float in a basin of the same liquid?

That depends on what fills the remainder of the bottle. If it is air, the average density of your bottle will be less than the density of the liquid.

Does hot water in a plastic bottle causes it to expand?
Not necessarily. You have to have a space of air in the bottle. The expansion/contraction happens because the water is heating/cooling the air. Liquids are usually considered incompressible and hence will not change their volume when heated or cooled (unless it evaporates or melts!). Assuming that you have an air space: If you have cold water in a sealed bottle that you heat up, it will expand. If you put hot water in a bottle and seal it, it will contract as it cools. If the bottle is not sealed, there will be no volume change.
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.
Does mass affect equal volume how it falls through a liquid?
The only way that the mass can change is if matter is added or taken away. The volume of a liquid can increase if heated, such as the liquid inside of a thermometer. The thermometer is sealed and no liquid gets in or out, so the mass of the liquid is unchanged. But when the temperature goes up, the liquid expands and is forced to go up the thermometer.
What will happen to a sealed ballon that contain dry ice if the balloon is left at room temperature?
If the ice melts, then because of the density of water, it will implode (Explode INWARD) because of the less particles in the liquid.
What can carry 1 kg and float on water?
Lots of things can do that, an empty 2 liter bottle with the cap sealed tight, just about any bowl will also float and can hold more than a kg. Look up buoyant materials.
What will happen if a glass of bottle filled with a liquid sealed tightly and heated?
If heated to and above boiling point the pressure in the bottle would begin to rise. Depending on how much it is heated it might either stay like that, or the increased pressure might cause the bottle to burst.
How do water bottle rocket fly?
The bottle is partly filled with water and sealed. The bottle is then pressurized with a gas, usually air compressed from a bicycle pump. that basically work on Newton's law of reaction.
If a container is half filled with a liquid and sealed at room temperature and atmospheric pressure then what happens inside the container?
because the other half is not empty it is filled with gas
How does soda evaporate in an unopened can?
The cans are filled before the top is attached. Once the top of the can is applied, the can is sealed up and packaged.
Does fire burn a hole in a bottle of water or pop?
== == Typically the liquid will prevent holes from forming. You can boil water in a paper cup. However, the heat will eventually evaporate all the liquid and the glass or can can melt and deform. Heat can also deform a plastic bottle and release the contents. If the can or bottle is sealed and exposed to high heat it can explode and send a shower of hot broken glass or metal for a long distance, it is very dangerous and should never be done with any sealed container.
What will happen in a sealed bottle when the air is heated and then allowed to cool?
The bottle will collapse when the bottle has heated air
Why happens when you spin a bottle of water?
Nothing important at room temperature and if the bottle is sealed.

Why does an empty sealed bottle collapse with altitude?
Actually, an empty sealed bottle should expand slightly as altitude increases. At the altitude where the bottle is sealed, the air pressure outside the bottle is equal to the air pressure inside the bottle. When the bottle is transported to a higher altitude, the air pressure inside the bottle is greater than the air pressure outside the bottle (In other words: There are more air molecules per unit volume inside the bottle than outside). The increased air pressure inside the bottle relative to the outside pressure causes the bottle to expand slightly. An empty bottle would not collapse as altitude increases.
