This week in Chemical, we are learning about matter.
Heated Can and Coldwater Experiment
We have conducted an experiment using Cans with hot water and buckets with cold water to see what would happen when you put a heated can in cold water.
We started by boiling the Can with hot water and waiting for lots of steam to come out of the top, we then put the Can with boiling water in the cold water and it immediately crushed the Can.
How did this happen?
When we heated the water in the can, it turned into steam. When you put the can upside down in cold water, the steam condenses and the Can fill with hot gas, contracts because of the changes in pressure and temperature.
