Question

5. What is the pressure of the gas in tube
Gas
x = 10 mm of Hg​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

0 ×3 = 30 mm Hg

Answer 2

The pressure of gas = 0.0135 atm

• Given , x = 10 mm of Hg
• We know ,x is the length of the column of mercury in which the gas is trapped.
• Also, the gas trapped in 760 mm of Hg exerts 1 atm presssure.
• So , by cross multiplication, the pressure exerted by gas trapped in 10 mm of Hg   =  1 * 10 / 760 atm = 0.0135 atm
• Therefore, the pressure exerted by gas in 10 mm of Hg is 0.0135 atm.
