A straight glass tube has two inlets X and Y at the two ends. The length of the tube is 200 cm. HCl gas through inlet X and `NH_3` gas through inlet Y are allowed to enter the tube at the same time. White fumes first appear at a point Pinside the tube. Find the distance of P from X.

Mass of the `HCl (g) = 1 + 35.5 = 36.5 g`
Molar mass of `NH_(3) (g) = 14 + 3 xx 1 = 17.0 g`
Accroding to Graham's law of diffusion,
`("Rate of diffusion of HCl (g)")/("Rate of diffusion of" NH_(2) (g)) = sqrt(((M_(NH_(3)))/(M_(HCl)))) = sqrt((17.0)/(36.5)) = 0.6824`
Let the distance between the points X and P = d cm
`:.` Distance between te point `Y` and `P = (200 - d) cm`
The distance travelled by the vapours of gas is directly proportional to rate of diffusion `:. (d)/(200 - d) = ("Rate of diffusion of" HCl (g))/("Rate of diffusion of" NH_(3)(g)) = 0.6824`
or `d = 0.6824 xx 200 - 0.6824d`
or `d + 0.6824 = 0.6824 xx 200 = 136.48`
or `1.6824 d = 136.48` or `d = (136.48)/(1.6824) = 81.12`
Thus, the distance between points P and X `= 81.12 cm`

Torricelli was the first do devise an experiment for measuring atmospheric pressure . He took calibrated hard glass tube , 1 m in lengt and of uniform cross section , closed at one end . He filled the whole tube with dry mercury taking care than no air or water droplets remain inside the tube , closed the opposite end of the tube tightly with thumb and inverted it . He put this inverted mercury tube into a mercury through , taking care that the end of the tube remains inside the mercury through , An interesting thing was noticed . Mercury in the tube fell down at first and then stopped at a particular position . The height was 76 cm above the free surface of mercury in the through . When the given tube was inclined or lowered in the mercury trough , the vertical haight of mercury level in the tube was always found constant . Torricelli explained this by saying that the free surface of mercury in the trough . Hence , the hydrostatic pressure exerted by the trough measures the atmospheric pressure . If an additional hole is also made at P ' at the top point of the tube , then A. mercury will not come out of the tube B. mercury may come out of the tube after some time . C. mercury will come out of the tube instantly D. none of these
