It doesn't matter, the bell jar serves to isolate the vapors inside from those outside.

In time the sugar will become damp. By the way, help me out with the technology, here. Initially, what is the atmosphere in the bell jar composed of? > > Nick > > Nicholas S.

A beaker of water and a beaker of sugar dissolved in water are sealed together inside a bell jar. Over time the level of liquid in the beaker of water will drop and the level of liquid in the beaker of sugar water will rise. > > > -- rec -- > > > On Tue, Jul 13, 2010 at 7:30 PM, glen e. p. ropella < g...@agent-based-modeling.com> wrote: > > > So, Verlinde lost me in section 4.
