Crushing Can Experiment : Effect of Atmospheric Pressure

Air Pressure Experiment - To understand effect of Atmospheric pressure and how it crushes a heated can when dipped in cold water (Based on Gas Law)

Not Gay-Lussac's Law

Crushing a can by heating it, sealing it and cooling it rapidly is an excellent demonstration of the existance of atmospheric pressure. Many youtube videos describe …

The Crushing Can Demonstration: Physics of Atmospheric …

1. The boiling water turns to steam, which is of much higher volume than liquid water and enters the tipped can displacing most of the air in the can.
2. The steam in the can creates pressure equal to the outside air pressure so at this point the can is not affected.
3. Dunking the can into the cold water causes the steam to condense.

3. Dunking the can into the cold water causes the steam to condense.
4. The water, a liquid again, is of much lower volume and therefore the pressure exerted against the inside wall of the can is greatly reduced.
