Can Experiment

Today at chemicals we did a science experiment on a sprite can. 

Aim: To see what happens when you put a heated can in cold water.

Hypothesis: My hypothesis was that the can was gonna scrunch up.

We had hot water in a sprite can and cold water in an ice cream container. Then we put the can, filled with hot water in it on a stove to heat the can and water even more. Next, we put the can on the stove we waited till it was steaming hot. After it was steaming we put the water in cold water and we saw that the can has been crunched up. 

So what happened was that the can was filled up with hot water and was getting heated up at the same time because of the stove, making it so the particles were fast. Then the water was evaporating in the can making gas. As the cold water entered the can the fast-moving particles were then slowed down because of the cold water, causing the gas and hot water to contract to make the can crunched up.

I've done this experiment in my last school that's why my hypothesis was right.
