1 mm = 1 torr
Hence, we will consider presssure in mm Hg units.
The sum of the heights in two arms
mm
Now pressure is reduced to 715.7 mm
The height of mercury in the open ended arm
mm
Hence the second option 95.6 mm is correct answer.
If the gas inside the flask is cooled so that its pressure is reduced from 797.3...
2. A barometer reads the atmospheric pressure 764.7 torr. A sample of gas is placed attached to an open-end mercury monometer. The level of mercury in the op arm of the monometer has a height of 136.4 mm, and that in the arm that is in cont with the gas has a height 103.8 mm. What is the pressure of gas in atmosphere?
A ballerina weighs 103 lbs and is up on her toes with only 10.0 cm^2 of her slippers in contact with the floor. What pressure is she exerting on the floor? Mineral oil can be used in place of mercury in manometers when small pressure changes are to be measured. What is the pressure of an oxygen sample in mm of mineral oil if its pressure is 28.5 mm Hg? (d of mineral oil = 0.88 g/mL; d of Hg...
At an atmospheric pressure of 745 mm Hg, what is the pressure of He gas inside a cylinder that is attached to an open-end manometer in which the level of mercury in the open side of the manometer is 25 mm Hg higher than the side that is attached to the gas cylinder?
CaCO3(s) can be roasted to produce CaO(s) and CO2(g). This reaction is carried out in a flask connected to an open-end mercury manometer (see figure) when the atmospheric pressure is 759 torr. If the pressure of the CO2 produced is 0.210 atm, determine the total pressure in the flask and the height difference between the two arms of the manometer. A) What is the total pressure (mmHg)? B) What is the height difference (mm)?
If the barometric pressure is 107.4 kPa, what is the pressure in kPa of the gas in the open end mercury manometer shown at right? (in the picture the atm pressure > gas pressure, and the height difference is 98 mm)
Each sketch below shows a flask with some gas and a pool of mercury in it. The gas is at a pressure of 1 atm. A J-shaped tube is connected to the bottom of the flask, and the mercury can freely flow in or out of this tube. (You can assume that there is so much more mercury in the pool than can fit into the tube that even if the J-tube is completely filled, the level of mercury in...
62) Assume that you have a cylinder with a movable piston. What would happen to the gas pressure inside the cylinder if you were to do the following? (a) Triple the Kelvin temperature while holding the volume constant (b) Reduce the amount of gas by 1/3 while holding the temperature and volume constant (c) Decrease the volume by 45% at constant T (d) Halve the Kelvin temperature, and triple the volume 63) Assuming that air contains 78.0 percent Ni, 20.0...
EXAMPLE 6-2 Using a Manometer to Measure Gas Pressure When the manometer in Figure 6-5(c) is filled with liquid mercury (d = 13.6 g/cm"), the barometric pressure is 748.2 mmHg, and the difference in mercury levels is 8.6 mmHg. What is the gas pressure Pgas? Analyze We must first establish which is greater: the barometric pressure or the gas pressure. In Figure 6-5(c), the baro- metric pressure forces liquid mercury down the tube toward the gas sample. The barometric pressure...
Each sketch below shows a flask with some gas and a pool of mercury in it. The gas is at a pressure of 2 atm. A J-shaped tube is connected to the bottom of the Task, and the mercury can freely flow in or out of this tube. (You can assume that there is so much more mercury in the pool than can fit into the tube that even if the J-tube is completely filled, the level of mercury in...
4. A flask with a volume of 2.20 L, provided with a stopcock, contains ethane gas (C2H6) at a temperature of 310 K and atmospheric pressure 1.013x10 Pa. The molar mass of ethane is 30.1 g/mol. The system is warmed to a temperature of 375 K, with the stopcock open to the atmosphere. The stopcock is then closed, and the flask cooled to its original temperature. A) What is the final pressure of the ethane in the flask? B) Find...
