<h2>The Pressure Increases </h2>

Explanation:

  • When the water is heated from 10℃ to 90℃ the pressure at the bottom of the beaker will also increase.
  • For a closed system with liquid contents that is water, the pressure will always increase with a rise in temperature.

       By using the formula;  

      \frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}= \frac{ P_2V_2}{T_2}

       where,

      V1 & V2 are the volumes at the initial level and final level, both the volumes are the same(ignoring pressure distention), T1 & T2 are the temperatures and   P1 & P2 are the pressures.

      Therefore, we get the pressure excluding the volumes as -

     P_2 =\frac{T_2P_1}{T_1}

  • Hence, according to the above explanation, if the temperature of the water increases then the pressure at the bottom of the beaker is also increased.

How do ionic compounds differ from metals?
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

How is metallic bonding different from ionic bonding? ... In an ionic bond the valence electrons are transferred from the metal only to the neighboring nonmetal, but in metallic bonding the valence electrons of each atom/ion are free to move or float around within the entire metal solid.
