Given:
Atmospheric pressure = 759 mmHg
Height of manometer, h = 53 mm
To determine:
The gas pressure
Step-by-step explanation:
The pressure of the gas can be calculated as follows-
P(gas) = P(atm ) + h
where: P(atm) is the atmospheric pressure
h = column height
P(gas) = 759 + 53 = 812 mmHg
Ans: The pressure of gas in the mercury manometer is 812 mmHg
