How a barometer can be used to measure the vapor pressure of a liquid?

A mercury thermometer, that is a barometer can be used to measure vapor pressure. Initially, a proper temperature must be recorded. Then the liquid should be injected into the mercury column. This new measurement subtracted from the original will yield the vapor pressure of a liquid.


What types of equipment would be used to measure the boiling point of a liquid?

You need two tools. To measure the air pressure you use a barometer and to measure the temperature at which the substance boils you use a thermometer. The boiling point is defined as the temperature at which the vapor pressure equals atmospheric pressure.
