Explanation & Answer

Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your question!


When water in can starts boiling ,  it turns to steam, pushing air out of the can and filling the can with water vapor. 

 In order for a bubble to exist the pressure of the vapor in the bubble must be pushing against the water with exactly the same force that the water is pushing back.

So Air is being pushed out of can intially  

Please let me know if you need any clarification. I'm always happy to answer your questions.
