Question

What two properties change that would cause a boiled egg to drop into a container, that’s mouth was smaller than the egg? 1. Temperature 2. Pressure 3. Volume 4. Number of particles

Answer 1

2. Pressure

4. Number of particles.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we drop a boiled egg into a container with a smaller mouth than the egg, we can note a change in the pressure inside the container, because initially, we have the atmospheric pressure inside the container but the egg will impose a different pressure inside; and the number of particles will be affected too because we suppose that the container is exchanging particles with the ambient so we wouldn't have an exact amount of particles in the container because of this exchange dynamic, so if the egg is covering the mouth of the container, the number of particles would be constant.

The answers would be 2. Pressure and 4. Number of particles.
