This document summarizes a physical experiment on the effects of atmospheric pressure on an empty soda can. The experiment involves boiling water inside an empty soda can on a hot plate, then quickly inverting the can into a dish of ice water. This causes the steam inside to rapidly condense, reducing the pressure inside the can. With the outside air pressure now greater than the pressure inside, the soda can collapses inward. The conclusions are that changes in the physical state of the water and differences in air pressure inside and outside the can cause it to collapse when exposed to cold water after steaming.
