The burning of the matches heats the air in the bottle. The hot air is now expanded and thinner than the atmospheric pressure outside the bottle. When the egg is placed over the top of the bottle four things happen. First: The eggs acts like a seal on the top of the bottle. Second: The matches are starved for air and the flame dies out. Third: The air ( all gases) inside the bottle are cooling down very fast and contract. Finally the egg is pushed into the bottle due to the atmospheric pressure outside the bottle being greater and trying to equalize.

Can an egg be forced into a bottle pushed by air pressure only?
Certainly! It is a common experiment. Take peeled hard boiled egg. Find a wide mouthed bottle that the egg can sit on without falling into it. A Frappicino bottle is about the right size. Take a piece of paper, about the size of the piece of toilet paper. Light it on fire and drop it into the bottle. As soon as the fire goes out, set the egg on the mouth. As the air inside cools, the egg will be pushed into the bottle by the air pressure.
What makes the egg float in the salt water?
Well... The salt in the water makes the egg float because the water becomes more dense than just plain water
Can eggs bounce and how?
Soak the egg in vinegar for about 2 days then carefully bounce it in a sink or another place where if it cracked it would be easy to clean. Or you might want to measure the height of how your going to bounce it. If it's higher then 6 '' it'll crack instintly.
If you blow air towards a bottle what happens to the airflow?
the gathers in the bottle and when its full it must come out and when both directions hit that makes the wliziling sound

The glass bottle acts as a magnifying glass thats why its easier to read.
What makes a egg go in the bottle?
This question is a bit too vague, but I'd venture to say that there is a vacuum in the bottle, which sucks the egg in.
What does purpose mean when explaining how to squeeze and egg in a bottle?
It means to explain why you wanted to do how to squeeze an egg in a bottle something like i wanted to see how i could get an egg in a bottle. I goes in there because the match needs oxygen so it makes like a whirlwind to suck more oxygen down so it brings the egg down with it.
How you can put an egg in a bottle?
Find a bottle with wide mouth .If not available breake the egg and pour in bottle.
Egg in a bottle?

Why does smoke cause an egg to go into a bottle?
I don't think smoke would cause that. It is not clear what exactly the experimental setup is, but it is much more likely that the egg gets into the bottle through pressure differences.
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.

Can an egg be sucked into a glass bottle?
If you're referring to the common science demonstration, the answer is that the heated air in the bottle expands. When it re-cools (after the egg has been placed on the neck of the bottle) it is at a much lower pressure than the surrounding atmosphere; the weight of the air above it is then sufficient to push the egg into the bottle.
How do you get an egg into milkbottle?
MATERIALS NEEDED: glass bottle with a long, narrow neck (an apple cider jug works well), boiled egg, matches. PROCESS: Put the empty bottle on a table, Peel the boiled egg, Light a match and drop it into the bottle. Repeat about three or four times, Quickly put the egg over the mouth of the bottle. EXPLANATION: The lit match heats the air inside the bottle. When air is heated it expands and takes up more room. As the heated air expands, some of it escapes out of the bottle. When the matches go out, the air inside the bottle cools and contracts, which takes up less room. This creates a lower pressure inside the bottle than outside the bottle. The greater pressure outside the bottle forces the egg to get sucked into the bottle.
Why did the egg fall in the bottle?
That's a weird question, but here goes. Light a couple of matches and put them in bottle. I assume in your case it would be a beer bottle. Quickly place the boiled egg over bottle opening. The burning of the matches will convert the oxygen in the bottle to carbon dioxide, creating a vacuum and sucking the egg into the bottle. Another way is to stick the egg in some vinegar for an hour. Vinegar will soften the egg so it can easily slide in. You could also put water in a pot and let it start to boil. After the water is heated take the water and put it into the glass bottle and quickly put the egg on the top of the bottle. That should compress the oxygen just as good as a match could. You should get the same reaction if done properly. You can also bring the egg out by putting some baking soda on the egg and pouring some vinegar in the container.Quickly turn the container upside down.
I am looking for this perfume in a purple egg-shaped bottle?
UltraViolet by Paco Rabanne is in a purple egg-shaped bottle.
How does an egg go into a bottle?
If you put a match in it, there will be less air inside and more air outside so the air outside wants to get in so it will push the egg in
