ANSWER:

Problem 10.24An open-end manometer containing mercury is connected to a container of gas, as depicted inSample Exercise 10.2. What is the pressure of the enclosed gas in torr in each of the followingsituations (a) The mercury in the arm attached to the gas is 15.4 mm higher than in the oneopen to the atmosphere; atmospheric pressure is 0.985 atm. (b) The mercury in the armattached to the gas is 12.3 mm lower than in the one open to the atmosphere; atmosphericpressure is 0.99 atm. Step-by-step solution Step 1 of 4 (a) Given that - Atmospheric pressure = 0.985 atm We know that - 1 atm = 760. torr Conversion factors are - 1 atm or 760. torr ( 760. torr ( 1 atm ) Now converting 0.985 atm atm into torr’s- = 748.6 torr
