Will Heating a Liquid-Filled Bottle Cause It to Explode?

[lwymarie]

Suppose here's a covered bottle full of liquid. I heat the bottle so the liquid changes to gas state. Will the bottle be broken since gas creates a bigger pressure?

if you heat the bottle, and assuming you have a bottle that is destructable and not deformed by heat, yes there eventually will be a crack made. And you must distinguish between gas state and vapour state.

how to distinguish between gas state and vapor state?

Really this question cannot be answered, we know nothing of either the bottle or the liquid. Be more specific please.

It depends on how much...

Material of bottle
Volume of bottle
How much liquid
What type of liquid

For a better response, more specifics please. ;)

But in most cases, yes. The bottle would crack / blow up completely.
