When an egg is heated, the protein present within it(the egg white), called albumin gets denatured. This is because protein structures break at high temperatures. As a result, the liquid albumin forms a thick white mass.

The egg does not go into the flask when heated. When the flask is heated the air expands in volume and escapes around the egg. When the flask is removed from the heat, the air in the flask cools, leaving low pressure in the flask which then draws the egg into the flask.

How do you get an egg out of a bottle?

Invert the cooled flask and place it in the wire gauze without the wire gauze.adjust the egg inside the flask in a vertical position with its pointed side/part directly situated at the entrance leading to the mouth of the flask.heat evenly the wide part of the flask using low flame for a minute. The expected result is that the egf will slowly get outside the flask


What is the manipulated variable in the egg in a bottle experiment?

Egg Sucked into Bottle (Heating Variation)The variable is the temperature of the air inside the bottle, which determines its pressure and volume. When air is heated, it has higher pressure or takes up more volume. When cooled, it becomes more dense and takes up less space. With less volume in the bottle, the only way for the pressure to equalize is by pushing the egg in.Part 1: We were heating an open system "the flask." Temperature and moles were changing. Pressure and volume are being held constant. As the open system is being heated the particles speed up, have limited space to move and moles leave the flask.Part 2: We took the flask off the heater, set it on the counter and put the egg on top. Pressure and temperature are changing. Volume and moles are being held constant. When the egg was put on the flask the temperature decreased causing the molecules to slow down. This decreased the inside pressure of the flask causing the atmospheric pressure to suck the egg into the flask because it was trying to balance with the inside pressure.Egg Sucked into Bottle (Combustion Variation)There is a finite amount of gas in the bottle, nitrogen and oxygen. When combustion occurs (a burning piece of paper), the oxygen in the air combines to form solid oxides and carbon dioxide, both of which occupy less space than the initial free oxygen. Less oxygen in the bottle means lower pressure, and again the outside pressure can force the egg into the bottle.


What is the science experiment of Egg Vacuum also knowen as Sucking an egg into a bottle and how do you do it?

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:


When a solid is heated it?

When a solid is heated it expands and if is heated enough it will melt; it may also boil. If you cool it down it will go back to solid form.
