If the match is lit and the bottle is empty, the match will burn all the oxygen and then it will go out, since it requires oxygen to keep burning. If the bottle is full, you will have a wet match.

Why does a cold bottle of water freeze when it is hit sharply against a counter?

Water is an unusual liquid in that it expands as it freezes. This can cause it to break a glass container as the water content freezes.


What does changing air pressure do to an empty water bottle?

When you pour in the hot water, it takes up all of the space inside the bottle (since it is a fluid). When you pour out the hot water and quickly put on the cap the air pressure inside the bottle is less than the air pressure outside causing the bottle to implode on itself. I'm not really sure about pouring cold water on after, maybe someone knows the answer to that part. But if you try doing it you can probably figure out what the answer is! Actually: When you pour the hot water in, and then out of the bottle the air that rushes in to replace the water is warmed by the water, and the warmed sides of the bottle, causing it to expand and some air leaves the bottle. When you then cap the bottle and let it cool to room temperature the air inside contracts, but because the cap is on no air can get back in to even things out. This causes the pressure inside the bottle to drop. Because the outside air pressure is higher than that inside the bottle, the bottle will chrush in, if it is plastic, until the bottle is small enough that the two pressures are equal. Pouring cold water on the bottle just amplifies the contraction of the air inside the bottle causing an even more pronounced effect. Note that this can be hazardous if you use glass, because the glass will not bend or crush but appear normal until the pressure difference gets to high and the glass simply implodes all at once.


What happens at equilibrium if you fill a shallow pan with water and place a drop of red ink in one end of the pan and a drop of green ink in the other end?

The red and green inks are uniformly distributed throughout the pan.


What is the weight of one drop of water?

The size of a drop of any liquid depends on how the drop is created, so it is not possible to say as a general rule that any particular amount of water is in a "drop of water." You first have to know the size of the drop of water.

Can you get a raw egg sucked into a bottle?

Yes, place a flame (match, candle, etc) inside the bottle, then quickly place an egg on top. As the air in the bottle burns, the pressure will drop and the egg will be sucked into the bottle.

Why does a bottle of spring water get crushed when you put the lid on an empty bottle tightly?

The plastic bottle (which is a blight on our planet and should not be bought and tossed away lightly) is made of very thin plastic. As thinly as possible to make it inexpensive to manufacture (so that it can be bought and tossed away thoughtlessly to fill landfills). A small drop in temperature, after the lid is on, will mean that the pressure in the bottle is less than the outside pressure so the bottle implodes. Try drinking the contents of a bottle of water, put the lid on and put it in the freezer. Observe what happens.
