Question

A long glass tube, sealed at one end, has an inner diameter of 13.7 mm. The tube is filled with water and inverted into a pail of water. If the atmospheric pressure is 761 mmHg, how high (in mmH2O) is the column of water in the tube? (d of Hg = 13.5 g/mL; d of H2O = 1.00 g/mL)

A long glass tube, sealed at one end, has an inner diameter of 23.1 mm. The tube is filled with water and inverted into a pail of water. If the atmospheric pressure is 705 mmHg, how high (in mmH2O) is the column of water in the tube? (d of Hg = 13.5 g/mL; d of H2O = 1.00 g/mL)

An open test tube at 293 K is filled at the bottom with 12.1 cm of Hg and 5.6 cm of water is placed above the Hg. Calculate the pressure at the bottom of the test tube if the atmospheric pressure is 756 mmHg. Use a density of 13.55 g/cm³ for Hg and 0.998 g/cm³ for water. Give the answer in terms of psi and kN/m².

00:01 In this video we are focused on finding out the height up to which water will rise based on the given data.
00:07 So firstly we can write that density of mercury can be written over here as, let us write it and then here it will be c -u -r -y.
00:16 And this is equal to 13 .5 times the density of water.
00:21 So density of water we can write it like this.
00:24 Now we can say that atmospheric pressure is here equals to, let us write atmospheric.
00:32 And then it will be here pressure.
00:35 So this is going to come around over here as 761 and then it is here mm of hg...
