Contraction

Aim: To observe contraction in gasses
Hypothesis: I thought the can would explode
Method: 1. Fill ice cream container with COLD water.
2. Place 50mL of water in the can
3. Set up Bunsen Bunsen Burner, heat proof mat ,tripod and gauze mat.
4. Heat the can until the steam is escaping from the top.
5. Quickly but carefully, invert the can as you plunge it into the container of water.
Observation: Hear; Bubbling and POP. See: The Can Contract
Explanation: Vibrates more which makes the water boil. The can contacts because when the particles go into cold water they stop moving and cool down really fast.
