When a sealed soda bottle is turned upside down in cold water, the air inside the bottle cools, causing it to contract and create a vacuum. This lower pressure inside the bottle then crushes the bottle as there is greater pressure from the surrounding water, leading to implosion.

Why would a bottle implode from hot to cold?

A bottle can implode when subjected to a sudden change in temperature from hot to cold because the air inside the bottle contracts rapidly, creating a vacuum which collapses the bottle. The external pressure remains constant while the internal pressure decreases, causing the bottle to implode.


How is water turned to ice and is there acid in it?

Nope, no acid when water freezes, the water freezes by the very cold air turning cold water and cold air makes ice. It's like a recipe!


What happens when a hot soda can is placed in cold water in the hot soda can in cold water experiment?

When a hot soda can is placed in cold water in the hot soda can in cold water experiment, the can undergoes a rapid cooling process. This causes the air inside the can to contract, creating a lower pressure inside the can compared to the outside. As a result, the higher pressure outside the can pushes the can inward, causing it to crush or implode.


How does the air pressure in a room differ from the air pressure in a basketball?

Air pressure in a room is less than that of a basketball since it does not crush the basketball. Think of the crushed can experiment. If you empty a soda can, flip it upside down, put it (carefully) on a boiling pot of water, the can will fill with hot air. You then transfer the can on a container with cold water (making sure the opening of the can is covered with the cold water). You should see the can implode or at least the outside air pressure (since it's greater than that of the air pressure in the can) crush the can. Opposite of the basketball.

Goldfish die in cold water because they are not used to the water tempurture. But if you put the fish in a bag and set the bagin the cold water the water in the bag and in the tank will be come the same tempurture.

Why does a can with boiling water in it implode when put into a bucket with cold water in it?

When a can with boiling water is placed into a bucket of cold water, the steam inside the can condenses rapidly, creating a vacuum. This sudden decrease in pressure outside the can causes it to collapse inward.
