to the bubble is equal to the pressure abovethe liquid. The normal boiling point of a liquid then may bedefined as the temperature at which the pressure of the vaporpassing from the liquid is equal to one atmosphere. Boiling point varies with the pressure. — It can be shownthat a liquid boils at a… … stopper with two holes. In one is placed a thermometer, andin the other a bent tube C which is tapered slightly at the lowerend and cut off in a slanting direction. Bypouring successive quantities of mercuryinto the cylinder D the pressure is in-creased. It will be found that the waterboils at…
