A closed-end manometer was attached to a vessel containing argon. The difference in the mercury levels in the two arms of the manometer was 9.60 cm. Atmospheric pressure was 783 mm Hg. The pressure of the argon in the container was ________ mm Hg.

Answer :

Answer:

96 mmHg

[tex]h=96mmHg[/tex]

Explanation:

From this question,manometer end is closedw, So we can deduced that the height of the column will not be affected by the atmospheric pressure .

The difference of height of the mercury level is given as,

h=9.60cm

h=9.60(10mm/1cm)

[tex]h=96mm[/tex]

But it is obvious that in this closed end manometer.the pressure of the gas is equal to the height

P(gas)=h

P(gas)=96mmHg

This pressure is as a result of the presence of gas.

Therefore, the pressure of the argon gas in the container is 96mmHg.

The pressure of the argon in the container was 96mmHg.

We were told that the manometer has closed ends which means that the

height will not be affected by atmospheric pressure.

The height which is the difference in mercury level is

h=9.60cm

We can convert it to millimeter by multiplying it by 10

h=9.60 × 10 = 96mm

The pressure of the closed end manometer will be equal to the height

P(gas)=h

P(gas)=96mmHg

The pressure of the argon gas in the container is 96mmHg.
