What weighs more a bag full of uncrushed cans or bag full of crushed cans?

If both bags are the same size, there would be more cans in the crushed can bag and it would weigh 3 or 4 times more than the bag without any crushed cans. If there are the same number of cans in each bag, as long as the cans were not closed, they would weight the same. If the cans were sealed, the air inside would add to the weight of the bag. as the uncrushed cans would leave a lot of air in the bag that would be lighter so a bag of crushed would weigh more as there would be more cans in there


Why does tablets weigh less after it has been crushed?

When a tablet is crushed, the physical structure of the tablet is broken down into smaller particles. This results in an increase in the surface area of the particles, which may cause air to become trapped between them. Due to the increased surface area and the presence of air pockets, the crushed tablet may appear to weigh less than the whole tablet.
