Rauf was planning to go on a mountaineering expedition.His friend advised him to leave some empty space in the water bottle,i.e. not to fill the plastic water bottle completely.Rauf did not listen to his advice.
Why did Rauf's friend advised him to leave some empty space in bottle?
a)To lower down the weight of water.
b)His friend thought that bottle may break
c)At high altitudes atmospheric pressure decreases so excess water filled inside bottle may leak to balance outside atmospheric pressure
d)all above reasons

Dear Student,

Rahul's friend advised him to leave some empty space in bottle because the atmospheric pressure will decrease making the air less dense, causing the volume of the air in the bottle to expand. This will make the pressure rise inside the bottle and can cause water to shoot out of the mouthpiece if opened suddenly.  

Regards
