Why when you suck a air of a bottle it shrinks?

When you suck air from a bottle you create a partial vacuum and there is less air pressure in the bottle; but outside there is atmospheric pressure so it tends to collapse the bottle.


What will happen to the bottle if the air pressure inside the bottle sucked out?

With less gas inside the bottle, it will weigh less. But not by very much, for the mass of the volume of air is slight. If he bottle is evacuated, then its shape will change slightly - but once again, a small amount. If the bottle is fragile, it may collapse. This would be expected for a plastic bottle, such as a soft drink bottle.


Why a balloon inflates when a bottle and balloon system is placed in hot water?

The hot water heats up the air inside the bottle, causing it to expand, forcing some of the air out of the bottle and into the balloon, causing it to inflate. The larger the bottle, the more air that will be pushed into the balloon. The air in the balloon will quickly cool and, since hot air is less dense and therefore rises, the cooler air is forced back into the bottle to be heated up. Eventually the air will be a constant temperature and the balloon will reach the limit of inflation. As the water cools, the air cools and the balloon begins to deflate.


Does hot water in a plastic bottle causes it to expand?

Not necessarily. You have to have a space of air in the bottle. The expansion/contraction happens because the water is heating/cooling the air. Liquids are usually considered incompressible and hence will not change their volume when heated or cooled (unless it evaporates or melts!). Assuming that you have an air space: If you have cold water in a sealed bottle that you heat up, it will expand. If you put hot water in a bottle and seal it, it will contract as it cools. If the bottle is not sealed, there will be no volume change.

What happens when the air in a closed bottle is heated?


Why would a tightly closed empty water bottle crush itself?

This answer presumes that "empty" means the bottle has no water in it, but does have air in it.In this case the bottle would collapse (or partly collapse) if the temperature inside the bottle dropped to a lower temperature causing the air inside to shrink, or if the bottle was taken to a place of higher air pressure (such as taking the bottle from a mountain peak to the base of the mountain.The bottle would also collapse at some point of evacuation if "empty" means the bottle was evacuated of water and air. The point of collapse, in this case, would depend on the physical construction of the bottle - ie, whether it was made of steel, plastic or glass

Why when you suck a air of a bottle it shrinks?

When you suck air from a bottle you create a partial vacuum and there is less air pressure in the bottle; but outside there is atmospheric pressure so it tends to collapse the bottle.


Why does an empty sealed bottle collapse with altitude?

Actually, an empty sealed bottle should expand slightly as altitude increases. At the altitude where the bottle is sealed, the air pressure outside the bottle is equal to the air pressure inside the bottle. When the bottle is transported to a higher altitude, the air pressure inside the bottle is greater than the air pressure outside the bottle (In other words: There are more air molecules per unit volume inside the bottle than outside). The increased air pressure inside the bottle relative to the outside pressure causes the bottle to expand slightly. An empty bottle would not collapse as altitude increases.


What happens when you put a balloon on a water bottle and put it in hot water?

Air inside the bottle expands when the bottle is heated. Some of it leaves the bottle until the pressure of the heated air remaining in the bottle equals the pressure of the air in the room. The balloon is then placed over the neck of the bottle and prevents any more air from entering or leaving the bottle. The air inside the bottle cools to the temperature of the ice water. The cooler air inside the bottle takes less space (volume) than it did when hot, so it sucks the balloon inside the neck of the bottle. Air pressure inside the bottle causes the balloon to stretch and enlarge until the air pressure inside the bottle, including the air in the balloon, has the same pressure as the air in the room.


When air heats in a bottle you can a balloon?

The air alone is not able to blow up a balloon. When air in the bottle is heated with a balloon on top of it, the air expands due to the heat and moves and finds more space. This in turn will blow up the balloon.

With less gas inside the bottle, it will weigh less. But not by very much, for the mass of the volume of air is slight.

After the can is heated and the lid was put on the can collapsed why did the can collapse?

The hot air inside the can cooled after the lid was put on. Cooling air contracts, pulling the can's parts inward, causing the collase.


Why do eggs drop into cans when they cool down?

More fun to watch it happen with a bottle. The heated air cools down and creates a low pressure in the bottle and it sucks the egg in.
