Why does the shape of the can gets distorted?
As the hot water is poured into the can, some steam in the can condenses into water, reducing the amount of air inside it. The pressure inside the can decreases than the pressure exerted by the air from outside the can. As a result, the can gets compressed.
What happens in the collapsing can experiment?
When you squeeze on the can, the pressure outside becomes greater than the pressure inside. If you squeeze hard enough the can collapses. When the water vapor condensed, the pressure inside the can became much less than the air pressure outside. Then the air outside crushed the can.
Why does a can collapse when the air is removed from it?
The air inside a tin can exerts pressure against the interior surface that pushes the walls of the can outward and the air outside of the can exerts pressure that pushes the sides inward. The result is that the tin can collapses when the air inside is removed.
Why does the shape of the bottle gets distorted when we pour hot water into it?
On pouring hot water in a plastic bottle , its inside expands due to the heat of the water. However, since plastic bottle is a poor conductor of heat, this heat can not transferred to the outer surface of the plastic bottle. This means that from inside plastic is expanding but not from outside.
Why does a tin can filled with hot water?
The vapor from the boiling water pushed air out of the can. When the can was filled with water vapor, you cooled it suddenly by inverting it in water. When the water vapor condensed, the pressure inside the can became much less than the air pressure outside. Then the air outside crushed the can.
Why does a hot can crush in cold water?
The hot gas molecules are the same pressure as the air outside the can. When the can is placed in cold water upside down, the hot gas water molecules are cooled very rapidly. Since the air pressure outside the can is stronger than that inside the can, it causes the can to collapse.
Can Crusher gas laws?
What gas law is the can crush? Crushing Can Experiment proves the Boyle’s Law, which is one of the major fundamental and experimental gas law of ideal gas equation law. Boyle’s law states that the volume of certain amount of gas is inversely proportional to pressure of a gas.
