The given figure shows a gas trapped in part X of an apparatus containing mercury. If the atmospheric pressure is 760 mm Hg, then what is the pressure of the gas? (Figure is not drawn to the scale.)
A
80 mm Hg
B
150 mm Hg
C
300 mm Hg
D
910 mm Hg
Text Solution
Verified by Experts
The correct Answer is:
D
The pressure of the gas is equal to the pressure on the same level in the other limb. `:.` Total pressure of the gas, P = atmospheric pressure + pressure due to mercury column = (760 + 150 mm) of Hg = 910 mm of Hg
