A tin can is full of steam and a tight lid is put on it. What will happen if cold water is poured over this tin can? Give reason for your answer.

The tin can will get crushed.

This is due to a partial vacuum forming in the tin because the steam, when it condenses to water, it leaves behind an empty space. because of this empty space, the air pressure outside the can is greater than the pressure inside the can. Due to this, it gets crushed.

Hope your doubt was cleared!
