Question

What is the pressure in millimeters of mercury inside a container 
of gas connected to a mercury-filled open-end manometer 
of the sort shown in Figure 10.5 when the level in 
the arm connected to the container is 17.6 cm lower than the 
level in the arm open to the atmosphere and the atmospheric 
pressure reading outside the apparatus is 754.3 mm Hg?

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.
