What is the pressure (in atmospheres) of the gas inside the container connected to an open-end, mercury-filled manometer as shown in the picture? The atmospheric pressure is 0.95 atm. Express your answer numerically in atmospheres. Gas 18 cm
Added by Eric A.
Step 1
1 cm = 0.01 m, so 18 cm = 0.18 m. The pressure of the gas is equal to the atmospheric pressure plus the pressure due to the mercury column. The pressure due to the mercury column can be calculated using the formula P = Ļgh, where Ļ is the density of mercury Show moreā¦

What is the pressure (in atmospheres) inside a container of gas connected to a mercury-filled, open-ended manometer of the sort shown in Figure 8.10 when the level in the arm connected to the container is $28.3 \mathrm{~cm}$ higher than the level in the arm open to the atmosphere, and the atmospheric pressure reading outside the apparatus is 1.021 atm? What is the pressure in $\mathrm{mmHg}$ ?
In Figure P5.11, what is the pressure of the gas in the flask (in kPa) if the barometer reads 765.2 mmHg?
