How does pressure change as you go deeper into the water?

Help me understand why the pressure of air in a cylinder does not change from ice water bath to boiling water?

  • A cylinder with a movable piston is placed in an ice water bath and is in thermal equilibrium. The cylinder is then removed from the ice water and placed into the boiling water. After the system reaches thermal equilibrium, the final pressure is the same as in the ice water bath. I don't understand why. Any help? Thanks!

  • Answer:

    either the movable piston changed location to compensate for pressure, or the inside of the cylinder was in a vacuum both times.
