Question

Why does a corked bottle filled with water break when frozen?

Answer 1

because the density of ice is greater than the water

Answer 2

$\large\boxed{\fcolorbox{blue}{yellow}{Answer}}$

1. The temperature of air in the freezer (deepfreeze) compartment of a refrigerator is less than 0°C.

2. When a plastic bottle, completely filled with water, is kept in this compartment, the temperature of water falls below 4°C and the water expands.

3. Even when water freezes and ice is formed, there I an increase in the volume.

4. It exerts a large pressure on the sides of the bottle.

Hence, the corked bottle is likely to break when frozen.
