[a] The compound 1-iodododecane is a nonvolatile liquid with a density of 1.20g/mL. The density of mercury is 13.6g/mL. What do you predict for the height of a barometer column based on 1-iodododecane, when the atmospheric pressure is 749 ton? [b] What is the pressure, in atmospheres, on the body of a diver if he is 21 ft below the surface the water when the atmospheric pressure is 742 torr?
