Supercooling occurs because, contrary to popular belief, water can exist as a liquid below its natural freezing point if it has no surface or seed on which to crystalize. That is, if there is no rough surface, impurtiy, or bit of ice to start the crystalization process, water can remain in a liquid state below 0deg Celsius. The inside of a smooth plastic bottle could possibly provide the right environment for this. When it is poured out, however, it encounters something in the bowl that it can form crystals on, and the process begins. Thus, you see the supercooled liquid water pouring out and forming ice instantly when it hits already formed ice crystals, hence the strange "snaking" up of the ice slush. It doesn't all freeze (thus slush, not solid ice) because when water does freeze, it releases some heat in the process of crystalization (there is more energy present in water at 0deg than in ice at 0deg), and this probably raises some of the surrounding water to above 0 degrees.
Water expands when frozen because the molecules rearrange themselves into a crystalline structure, causing them to form a rigid lattice with more space between molecules compared to liquid water. This expansion is due to the hydrogen bonds in water, which hold the molecules farther apart in the solid state than in the liquid state.
There are quite a few reasons why your bottled water appears to freeze after removing it from the freezer. This is because it did freeze.
water expands as it freeze.doesn't have room to go some place it can burst the container it's in.
Obviously. It's just a physical change to the water. It's still H2O.
Ice is less dense than water. So when ice turns to water it expands.

Can water rise when frozen?
yes, when you freeze water it expands, if you fill a plastic bottle full to the top with water then put it in the freezer, when it's frozen the bottle will have cracked or split. Hope i helped :)
Why highly corked glass bottle full of water left outside on a frosty night brusts?
When water freezes, it expands and increases in volume. If the water inside the bottle freezes and expands, but the bottle is not designed to withstand the pressure caused by the expansion, it can burst. The highly corked glass bottle in this scenario could not withstand the pressure from the expanding ice, leading to it bursting.
How did ice formed in frozen bottle?
Ice forms in a frozen bottle when the water inside the bottle is exposed to temperatures below its freezing point, causing it to solidify into ice. As the temperature decreases, the water molecules lose energy and move more slowly, eventually forming a solid structure, which is ice.
A highly corked glass bottle full of water left outside on a frosty night bursts?
The cold temperature outside causes the water inside the bottle to freeze and expand. The expansion puts pressure on the glass, and if the bottle is already compromised by being corked or having weak spots, it can lead to the glass shattering or the bottle bursting.
When ice is frozen why does it crack glass?
When ice from a cold substance comes in contact with the warmth of glass, it can cause thermal stress on the glass due to the rapid temperature change. This stress can create cracks in the glass as it expands and contracts at different rates. Using tempered glass can help minimize this issue as it is more resistant to thermal stress.

Does solid food expand or contract when frozen?
If the food has water in it then it will expand.
When water is frozen in plastic does the plastic expand?
No, so you will want to leave an inch or two when filling the bottle as well as leaving it uncovered until the water has frozen.
By what percentage does water expand when it is frozen?
poo
Will a bottle expand if it is frozen?
Yes, when water freezes inside a bottle, it expands as it turns into ice. This expansion can cause the bottle to crack or break due to the increased pressure. It's important to leave enough space in a bottle when freezing liquids to prevent this issue.
If champagne is frozen - will it be drinkable when thawed?
Yes, although being a liquid it will expand and break the bottle
Do water expand when frozen?
yes, this is why if you put a filled to the brim cup of water in the freezer, it overflows when it is frozen....
Why is frozen water less dense?
The water molecules expand when the temp. drops.
What is the problem with putting a full bottle of water in the freezer for a long period?
The bottle will expand and overflow.

What is a good insulator for frozen water bottle?
Styrofoam is excellent
