Pressure with Changing Temperature 2
You partially fill an Erlenmeyer flask (wider at the bottom than the top) with cold water. You measure the pressure at the bottom with a sensitive barometer. You heat the water until it is nearly boiling and measure the pressure at the bottom again. What happens to the reading of the barometer?
