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 if you take all the air out of bottle?

It will become vacuum sealed, and opening the bottle will cause a sudden release of low pressure, where higher pressure air from it's surroundings is 'sucked' into the bottle, equalizing the pressure.


How does glue stick to things if it doesnt stick to the bottle?

When you squeeze the glue out of it's container, it makes contact with air, therefore evaporating the water molecules and drying it onto the surface of which you are gluing. So the reason why glue doesn't stick to the inside of the bottle is merely because the top is (hopefully) sealed, denying air access to the glue inside, so the water molecules remain intact. Hopefully you found this resourceful.


Will water evaporate from an unopened water bottle?

As soon as someones mouth touches the bottle, bacteria is present. Allowed to sit for a couple of days, the water will "foul"...(develop an unfresh taste). Refridgeration helps delay this fouling process whilst direct sunlight and heat will hasten it. Bottles that have been LEFT OPEN for days or weeks may have additional contaminants introduced to them, and, if ingested may cause mild diarrhea. Keeping open bottles "cool" will cause no problems.


Why as you drink an ice cold beverage on a warm day the outside of the bottle becomes wet?

Your water bottle contains some air along with the water. The air is warm when you leave the house but it cools off outside. Cooling air contracts. Since the water bottle is sealed air-tight, no new air can get in. The contracting cooling air inside the bottle exerts less internal pressure on the bottle, so the external pressure which remains constant (24 pounds per square inch) will then partially collapse the bottle.

Why an empty glass bottle with a sealed cap float on water?

An empty glass bottle with a sealed cap floats on water because the air trapped inside the bottle provides buoyancy. The air in the bottle is less dense than water, causing the bottle to float on the surface. The sealed cap prevents water from entering the bottle, maintaining its buoyancy.


If a bottle is tightly sealed with heat what would happen?

If a bottle is tightly sealed and heated, the pressure inside the bottle will increase as the air or gas inside expands. This pressure build-up could potentially lead to the bottle exploding if the pressure becomes too great for the bottle to contain. It is important to be cautious when heating sealed containers to prevent accidents.


Why a sealed bottle partially filled with a liquid can float?

A sealed bottle partially filled with a liquid can float because the weight of the liquid inside the bottle is less than the weight of the liquid it displaces. This creates an upward buoyant force that allows the bottle to float.

Why can't you open the water bottle?

The water bottle may be sealed tightly, making it difficult to open.

How can I create and maintain a sealed bottle ecosystem?

To create and maintain a sealed bottle ecosystem, start by adding soil, plants, and small organisms like worms or insects to a clear plastic bottle. Seal the bottle tightly to create a closed environment. Place the bottle in a well-lit area but away from direct sunlight. Water the plants occasionally and monitor the ecosystem for any changes. Avoid opening the bottle frequently to maintain the sealed environment.

What happens when you throw a glass bottle into the sea?

Can you transfer maple syrup from one bottle to another after it is sealed?

Yes you can IF you sterilize the bottle first before transferring anything into it.


What will happen in a sealed bottle when the air is heated and then allowed to cool?

As the air inside the sealed bottle is heated, it will expand and increase in pressure. When the air is allowed to cool, it will contract and decrease in pressure. This change in pressure can potentially cause the bottle to deform or even explode if the pressure builds up too much.
