If a drop of water vapour is introduced in a mercury barometer, how will the barometric height change?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

the barometer height will decrease if a drop of water is introduced in a mercury barometer, which is due to the pressure exerted by water vapour.

If water is used instead of mercury in a barometer, what will be the height of water column?

We can use water instead of mercury in a barometer.

If the length of the mercury column in a mercury barometer is 76 cm, what is the equivalent height of the water column ?

A berometer correctlu reads the atmospheric pressure as 76cm of mercury. Water droplets are slowly introduced into the barometer tube by a dropper. The height of the mercury column first decreases and then become constant. If the saturation vapour pressure at the atmospheric tgemperature is 0.80cm of mercury, find the height if the mercury column when it reaches its minimum value.

What will happen if water is used in place of mercury in a barometer tube?

The barometric height at a certain place is 0.75 m of mercury. What will be the barometric height ifa liquid of density 3.4xx 10^3kg/m^3 is used to llll the barometric tube? [P_("mercury")=13.6xx10^3kg//m^3 ]

Why has water higher vapour pressure than mercury ?

What is the major reason for using mercury (rather than water) in barometers?

A barometer reads 75cm if mercury. When 2.0cm^(3) of air at atmospheric pressure is introduced into space above the mercury level, the volume of this space cecones 50 cm^(3) . find the length by which the mercury column desecds.

If the mercury in the barometer is replaced by water, what will be the resulting height of the water column? Density of water =1000kgm^(-3) density of mercury = 13600kgm^(-3)
