In the lab "Pressure in a Jar" what happened to the water when we squeezed the plastic jar.

• The air pressure in the container increased and the water in the glass tube went down
• The temperature increased and caused the water level to go up
• the pressure inside the glass bottle decreased and the water level got pulled down

What is true about Boyle's Law?

• As volume decreases, pressure decreases
• Volume and pressure always stay the same
• As pressure increases, temperature decreases
• As volume increases, pressure decreases

What is warm air compared to cold air?

• More Dense
• Less Dense

What is dry air compared to moist air?

• More Dense
• Less Dense
