Re: Coke Can Experiment
[ QUOTE ]
Cool, I'm going to try this later. My wife has a few cans of some crappy natural soda that the world could do without. I assume this is because of the carbonation? [/ QUOTE ] Not at all. You need to empty the can and add a little water. By boiling the water in the can, you basically evacuate the can except for a few molecules that are moving around super fast and banging into the walls of the can. When you invert the can and put it into the ice-water, the molecules that were once moving super fast slow down because they get cold. When that happens, the pressure in the can drops, causing the can to get squished by the pressure in the room.

[ QUOTE ] I assume this is because of the carbonation? [/ QUOTE ] Nope, just water involved - you're using an empty can. It's an example of "nature abhors a vacuum". [/ QUOTE ] Oh. I would have spent two hours this afternoon wondering why my full can of soda wasn't crushing, all the while muttering to myself, "man, those OOT guys are full of [/i][censored]." I hope people at the University of Arizona College of Engineering don't read 2+2. They'll hunt me down and take away my MS for being such a retard.

[/ QUOTE ] Its ok, you would have never gotten that far since your full can would have exploded when you tried to heat it up.
