Consider Figure 13.1. If the height of the mercury column in the leveling bulb is  21 mm   greater than that in the gas buret and atmospheric pressure is 600 mm , what is the pressure on the gas trapped in the buret?

 

Should I assume (1 atm) or would I assume the atm is 600mm (standard) and subtract the 21 from the 600,

then convert by division (600-21)/760 ??
