Problem to be solved and to be checked using Boyle's Law equation: In a J-shaped tube filled with mercury, initially, mercury levels in both limbs are the same. The initial volume of the trapped gas in the closed end is 0.50 L. The volume of the gas decreases to 0.30 L after the addition of mercury from the open end of the tube. Take note that the opened end of the tube is subjected to the atmosphere; thus, the initial pressure is equal to atmospheric pressure (1 atm = 780 mmHg). What will be the final pressure after the changes of the volume happened?
