Layers of the Atmosphere and Air Pressure

In the the lab with the syringes, why would the plunger stop when let go and not continue moving?

• The plunger kept moving until the pressure inside and outside the syringe were equal
• The plunger kept moving until the syringe broke or popped off
• The plunger kept moving because there was more particles of air in the room

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 dry air compared to moist air?

• More Dense
• Less Dense
