vacuum mercury (Hg) air pressure barometer: device to measure air pressure
Empty space (a vacuum) Hg Weight of the mercury in the column Weight of the atmosphere (atmospheric pressure) Barometer Zumdahl, Zumdahl, DeCoste, World of Chemistry2002, page 401
Barometer Water column (34.0 ft. high or 10.4 m) • Mercury filled 760 mm = 1 atm • Water filled 10400 mm = 1 atm Atmospheric pressure Mercury column (30.0 in. high or 76 cm) The barometer measures air pressure

Boiling vs. Evaporation Boiling point: atmospheric pressure = vapor pressure AIR PRESSURE 15psi Revolutionary process - fast VAPOR PRESSURE 15 psi Lyophilization – freeze drying Evaporation: molecules go from liquid to gas phase Evolutionary process - slow gas liquid
Boiling Point on Mt. Everest Water exerts a vapor pressure of 101.3 kPa at a temperature of 100 oC. This is defined as its normal boiling point: ‘vapor pressure = atmospheric pressure’ x kPa = 253 mm Hg (101.3 kPa) = 33.7 kPa (760 mm Hg)
