What is observed when an empty bottle dipped upside down position in a bucket filled with water is tilted?
Answer
When an empty bottle held upside down in a bucket filled with water is tilted, air bubbles start coming out of the bottle and water starts entering into it.
Small pores are present between the fibres of cotton wool. Sufficient volume of air is present in these pores. When a lump of cotton wool is dipped in water, this air is replaced by less volume of water, so the cotton wool shrinks.
Air is a mixture of nitrogen $(78 \%),$ oxygen $(21 \%),$ carbon dioxide, water vapour and a few other gases $(1 \%).$ Some dust particles may also be present in it.
