TL;DR Summary: Which gas has a higher pressure and why? School has provided answer which I disagree. Like to hear comment from others.
Yah. It's quite straight forward, right?Baluncore said:Welcome to PF.
If the system is static, then gas A has the higher pressure as it pushes the mercury towards the other gas B.
What do you think?
When you think a teacher gets it wrong, if you want good marks, do NOT challenge the teacher in front of the class. Give a copy of your work to the teacher after the class. Either you or the teacher will be wrong, neither of you needs public embarrassment or loss of face.Tomy World said:And students hesitate to challenge teacher... I'd encourage them to openly discuss with teacher ;)
May be 'challenge' is a strong word. I don't mean that ;)Baluncore said:When you think a teacher gets it wrong, if you want good marks, do NOT challenge the teacher in front of the class.

I agree. Any teacher who is offended by a POLITE challenge doesn't belong there.jbriggs444 said:With an error this egregious and a resolution that is relatively straightforward to work out, my inclination would be to challenge the teacher in class.
