Why doesn’t the can explode or crumple when the water is heated to boiling with the lid removed? In your explanation. be sure to include what is happening with the gas molecules insitle the can.

Why does the can crumple when the heat is turned off and the can is sealed? Use the kinetic molecular theory to support your answer.

At the time the can is sealed and the heat is turned off, the temperature and pressure of the water vapor are $\text{1}00.°\text{C}$and $\text{1}.00$atm. respectively. The original volume of the can is $\text{4}.00\text{ L}$. Assuming the can is essentially "saturated" with water vapor t as opposed to air) and the volume of the liquid

ter remaining in the can is negligible, how many moles of water vapor is(are)in the can right when the can is seated?

When the can is finished being crushed. it has an internal volume of $\text{1}.\text{5}0\text{ L}$. The temperature of the gas is new $\text{35}°\text{C}$. and the pressure is again $\text{1}.00$atm (assuming forces due to metal walls are negligible). How many grams of water condensed front the time the can was sealed to completing its crushing process?
