Question

A barometer mistakenly contains 165mm of water above the mercury column (so there is water vapor instead of vacuum at the top of the barometer). On a day when the air temperature was 21 ° C, the mercury height was measured 720 mm (corrected for thermal expansion).

a. Set the barometric pressure in Pa.

b. If the ambient temperature is increased to 29 ° C but the barometric pressure does not change, will the height of the mercury column change? doesn't it change If it changes (does it increase or decrease)? Explain your answer.
