Best Answer

there must be vacuum in the Mercury barometer because if air enters the tube the barmeter would become faulty as air pressure will change.

Becuase the presure just pushes it up and down so it couldn't boil because it would always be moving

Vacuum boiling water?

vacuum is measured in inches of mercury. sea level is zero. water will boil at 212F. as negative pressure or elevation increases the boiling temp. of water decreases. if you had a pressure reading of 29.7 in" of mercury the water will boil at 192F. if you had a pressure reading of 10 in" of mercury water will boil at 32F


Why does water boil in a vacuum?

Clarification: I am wanting to know how much vacuum I need to pull to get water to boil at 150 degrees.


As the pressure in a vessel containing water is reduced with a vacuum pump it begins to boil at some point but will it continue to boil if the vessel is sealed after it begins to boil?

If the vacuum pump is on, the water will continue to boil. If the vacuum pump is off as the vessel is sealed, the boiling will stop at a point of equilibrium.


What temp will gasoline boil under vacuum?

Gasoline will eventually boil under extreme vacuum at any temperature but the problem is trying to pull enough vacuum. During a recent experiment it took about 8 hours to pull enough vacuum to boil it to vacuum, the gasoline was at 72 degrees Fahrenheit. Temperature does play a small role when trying to boil under vacuum, this would be true if just trying to boil under normal atmospheric pressures. We pulled enough vacuum to double what was even in space not an efficient way to vaporize fuel.
