What is the pressure (in Pa) of the gas in the flask in Figure P5.13?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The pressure of the gas is 4.75×10 3 Pa.

Step by step solution

01

Determination of the pressure 

The pressure of the gas is equal to the difference in height of the mercury column.

∆h =Pgas

Now, the difference in height of the mercury column is :

∆h = 3.56 cm

Convert m into mm,

      1 cmHg = 10 mmHg⇒3.56 cmHg = 35.6 mmHg

So, the pressure is 35.6 mmHg.
02

Conversion of unit from mmHg to Pascal (Pa) 

1 mmHg = 133.322 Pa

Now, the pressure is,

35.6 mmHg  ×133.322 Pa1  mmHg  =  4.75×103 Pa

Thus, the pressure of the gas is 4.75 ×10 3 Pa.
