Does Bottled Water Burst When Freezing?

I've actually done this (by accident, repeatedly) most plastic bottles can take the pressure and will simply deform but not crack open, glass bottles will be found broken and glued by ice to the bottom of the cars floor.
im sorry, by burst i thought you were asking would the lid pop off and the ice expand out of the bottle. THIS has happened to me a few times when i have tried to freeze bottles of water. However i highly doubt that plastic would break before the lid releaced if thats what your asking. Again it comes down to how much air is in the bottle though, if there IS some air then it will just take up that room first
Depends on where you keep your car. If it is always located inside of a heated garage and you don't drive around at all it won't freeze at all.
Tree trunks, Mr Owl?
Since we are discussing freezers........
(we are cutting edge in the chem section)
If you had a vey powerful freezer, one that froze things to nearly
absolute zero, would the water ice from your super ice-box, when added to your
drink of pepsi, make it
1. No cooler than a standard ice cube?
2. A little cooler than a standard ice cube?
3. Much cooler than a standard ice cube?

Lock in answer 3, assuming your super-cool ice cube was normal ice-cube size.
Heat flows from hot objects to cold. So, your pepsi cools by heat flowing from the pepsi to the ice cube, which is at a lower temperature. As the ice in the cube heats to zero degrees Celcius, it starts to melt, which absorbs even more energy.
A normal ice cube may be a few degrees below zero. If you have one hundreds of degrees below zero, it would absorb more heat from the drink. The most likely outcome would be to freeze your pepsi solid.
....freeze your pepsi solid.
Thanks. I like the sound of that.
Would make a good party trick.

A better question would be what happens to the water if you super freeze it, does it still break the bottle?

I can't make head or tail of this.
There is a Ih and no I.
IV is missing.
What do the Roman numerals stand for?
As regards ice, isn't it the only substance which expands as it freezes, meaning ice floats rather than sinks?
Actually, is it the only substance that does this?

Geez, you could just click on the images properties, copy-pasted the address into your browser and gone to the web site, but yes that image only show part of the picture:
I and IV are still missing.
Now in addition to Ih there is an Ic.
What is this graph about?
You can't just post a graph with no key and expect people to investigate.
