Question

If the atmospheric pressure is 0.995 atm, what is the pressure of the enclosed gas in each of the three cases depicted in the drawing? Assume that the gray liquid is mercury. (i)

Accepted Answer

Hi everyone here we have a question asking us to calculate the pressure of the gas inside the Mercury Nanometer, assuming the atmospheric pressure is 1.05 atmospheres. So our pressure of our gas is going to equal 1.505 atmospheres plus 400 millimeters of mercury times, one atmosphere over millimeters of mercury. And that is going to equal 1. Atmospheres. And that is our final answer. Thank you for watching. Bye.
