The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the relationship between the unit torr and barometric height, we will analyze the options provided and identify the correct relationship. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Unit Torr**: - The unit "torr" is a unit of pressure defined based on the height of a mercury column in a barometer. 2. **Identifying the Barometric Height**: - Barometric height refers to the height of the mercury column in a barometer, which is used to measure atmospheric pressure. 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - Option 1: 1 Torr = 1 centimeter of Hg - Option 2: 1 Torr = 0.76 m of Hg - Option 3: 1 Torr = 1 mm of Hg - Option 4: 1 Torr = 1 meter of Hg 4. **Recalling the Definition of Torr**: - It is known that 1 torr is defined as the pressure exerted by a 1 mm height of mercury (Hg) at standard gravity. 5. **Selecting the Correct Option**: - Based on the definition, we can conclude that: - 1 Torr = 1 mm of Hg. - Therefore, the correct answer is **Option 3**. ### Final Answer: 1 Torr is equal to 1 mm of Hg. ---
