The density of mercury is 13.5 g/mL and the density of water is 1.00 g/mL.If a mercury barometer reads 761 mmHg, what is the barometric pressure in cmH₂O?Hint: From physics we find that the pressure is related to the height according to the equationP = dghwhere d = density, g=gravitational acceleration and h is the height.Now, if we have two devices at the same pressure we can say thatP = dighi= d₂gh2Use this equation, your algebra skills and your logic to see how tall a water barometer would be!

Let's start by using the equation P = dgh to find the height of the water barometer. We know the…

Answered: The density of mercury is 13.5 g/mL and…
