Egg Vacuum For an experiment I decided to do 'Egg Vacuum'. It is a force of air that pushes the egg inside of the bottle; this is the method we used: # Find a bottle with a long, narrow neck and set it on the table. The opening should be just small enough to keep the egg from falling inside. # Boil and peel and egg. # Drop 3 lit matches into the bottle. # Quickly place the egg over the mouth of the bottle. What happens you may ask? The lit matches heat 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 the bottle. When the matches go out, the air inside the bottle cools and contracts (and takes up less room), thus creating a lower pressure inside the bottle than outside. The greater pressure outside the bottle forces the egg into the bottle. Now I'm going to tell you about Expansion, Expansion is an increase in the size of a body without the addition of material to the body. Most solids and liquids expand when they are heated and contract when they are cooled. Gases also expand when they are heated at a constant pressure. If a gas is heated in a container that prevents expansion, the pressure of the gas increases. If I wanted to get the egg out, I would simply turn the bottle upside down and blow into it. The increased air pressure in the bottle will cause the egg to pop back out. Below are some useful Related Links:

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 science experiment is best for a grade six student?

I like the tornado experiment. 1. Take two 2l pop bottles. 2. Fill the bottom bottle with water, and sprinkle some glitter on top. 3. Take the top bottle, put it on top of the other one, and duct tape it tightly. 4. Now, take the bottom bottle, flip it over, and spin it. It will look like a tornado inside the bottle. And the beauty of it is, once your done, the water drains to the other bottle, and you can do it again.


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.


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.

Because it has a vacuum.


What are facts about blobs in a bottle science experiment?

The blobs in a bottle science experiment demonstrates the principle of density. When two liquids with different densities, such as oil and water, are mixed together in a bottle, they form separate blobs due to their immiscibility. The blobs created in this experiment help to visualize how substances with different densities do not mix together and instead form distinct layers.


What children's science experiments are safe and fun?

A fun and safe science experiment for children to perform is the classic cola and Mentos experiment. This is done by dropping a Mentos in a large bottle of cola, it results in rapid and extreme frothing of the cola which shoots out of the bottle like an explosion.


What is the purpose of egg in the bottle?

The purpose of performing the egg in the bottle experiment is to demonstrate the effects of air pressure. When the heat from the burning paper causes the air inside the bottle to expand and then contract, it creates a vacuum that sucks the egg into the bottle.


Can air pressure alone cause a piece of bologna to be pushed into a bottle?

Excluding mechanical force or gravity (small bologna, large mouth bottle), it is only air pressure that pushes a bologna into a bottle. It is the pressure difference from the atmosphere and the lesser pressure (vacuum) in the bottle. There is no such thing as "sucking." It is all about pressure differential.

What is the theory behind the experiment in which a boiled egg is sucked into the bottle when an ignited match stick is put inside when the boiled egg being placed at the mouth of the bottle?

When the air cools it retracts creating a vacuum. The Vacuum then pulls the egg into the bottle. Since the vacuum acts equally across the surface of the egg, it is able to gently but quickly pull the egg through the opening without breaking it... most of the time.

How does the oxygen being burned in a bottle create vacuum that sucks an egg in?

because there is is a pressure difference between the inside of the bottle and the outside. the pressure is lower in the bottle the egg gets sucked in. when the oxygen is burned there is less matter in the bottle then at first and that results in less pressure[vacuum]
