scilearner Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Hello guys, This might seem a basic question but my physics is not that good. So in a normal pipette when you squeeze the top bit, do you create an area of high pressure there, and then when you put in a flask with liquid and release it the air escapes, and then the atmospheric air pushes on the liquid and fluid comes into the pipette. Is that what happens? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrP Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 When you squeeze the top bit it pushes out all the air, so when you release the bulb it creates a vacuum inside it which sucks up the liquid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
