A open ended mercury manometer is used ...

A open ended mercury manometer is used to measure the pressure exerted by a trapped gas as shown in the figure. Initially manometer shows no difference in mercury level in both columns as shown in diagram.

After sparking 'A' dissociates according to following reaction
`A(g)rarrB(g)+3C(g)`
If pressure of Gas "A" dissociates to 0.9 atm, then (Assume temperature to be constant and is 300 K)

A

`1`. total pressure increases to 1.3 atm

B

`2`. total pressure increases by 0.3 atm

C

`3`. total pressure increases by 22.3 cm of Hg

D

`4`. difference in mercury level is 228 mm.

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
a,b,d
(a,b,d) `P_(T)=(1+3xx)=1+3xx0.1=1.3 atm.`
`/_\P=0.2atm or 76xx0.3cm" of "Hg`
`or 760xx0.3 mm " of " Hg`

To measure the pressure exerted by a trapped gas A, an open ended mercury manometer is used. After sparking the gas A, it dissociates as, A(g) to B(g) + 3C(g). If the pressure of A decreases to 0.9 atm, then (assume temperature to be constant, 300K)

A 10 cm column of air is trapped by a column of mercury, 8 cm long, in a capillary tube horizontally fixed as shown below, at 1 atm pressure. When the tube is held at certain angle theta^@ with open end up, the weight of Hg is borne partially by the gas. Vertical Height of Hg is a measure of additional pressure on gas. The length of air column, when the tube is fixed vertically at the same temperature with open end up is .
