Question

A glass bottle completely filled with water and tightly closed at room temperature is likely to burst when kept in freeezer

Answer 1

it is so because due to anomalous expansion of water, the water when get its temp. lowered the volume of water increases and becomes max. when it comes to 4 degree centigrade and there is no space left for the water to accommodate the increased volume and the bottle bursts.

Answer 2

Answer:

.The expansion of water takes place as it is cooled from 4°C to 0°C. This behavior is unusual because most substances contract when they are cooled.But water expand on solidifying. Due to this expansion a glass bottle completely filled with water and tightly closed at room temperature is likely to burst when kept in a freezer of a refrigerator.

Explanation:

Additional information:

• Anomalous expansion of water is an abnormal property of water whereby it expands instead of contracting when the temperature goes from 4°C to 0°C, and it becomes less dense. Normally, liquids contract on cooling & the density increases. However, water is special. It contracts when cooled, down to a temperature of 4°C but thereafter begins to expand as it reaches 0°C and turns into ice
