Ch.10 - Gases: Their Properties & Behavior
Chapter 10, Problem 42
Assume that you have an open-end manometer filled with ethyl alcohol 1density = 0.7893 g>mL at 20 °C2 rather than mercury 1density = 13.546 g>mL at 20 °C2. What is the pressure in pascals if the level in the arm open to the atmosphere is 55.1 cm higher than the level in the arm connected to the gas sample and the atmospheric pressure reading is 752.3 mm Hg?
