**Measuring Gas Pressure Using an Open-End Mercury Manometer****Problem Statement:**The pressure of a sample of gas is measured at sea level with an open-end mercury manometer. Assuming atmospheric pressure is 684.73 mm Hg, determine the pressure of the gas if h = 18.24 cm. (Provide your answer in mmHg - but do not include units in your answer).**Diagram Description:**The diagram shows an open-end mercury manometer used to measure the pressure of a gas. The setup consists of the following parts:- A gas container connected to a manometer.- The manometer is a U-shaped tube partially filled with mercury.- One end of the manometer is exposed to the gas (labeled "Gas"), and the other end is open to the atmosphere (labeled "Open end").- The height difference of the mercury column between the two arms of the U-tube is marked as \( h \). In this case, \( h \) is given as 18.24 cm.**Calculation Explanation:**To determine the pressure of the gas, you can use the following steps:1. **Convert \( h \) to mm Hg**: Since \( h \) is given in centimeters (cm), convert it to millimeters (mm) because the pressure is asked to be in mm Hg. \[ h = 18.24 \, \text{cm} = 182.4 \, \text{mm} \]2. **Determine the type of manometer reading**: - If the mercury level in the arm open to the atmosphere is higher, the pressure of the gas is lower than atmospheric pressure. - If the mercury level in the gas-connected arm is higher, the pressure of the gas is higher than atmospheric pressure.3. **Calculate the Gas Pressure**: - In this diagram, it is assumed that the mercury level is higher on the open end side (which means the gas pressure is higher than the atmospheric pressure). \[ P_{\text{gas}} = P_{\text{atm}} + h = 684.73 \, \text{mmHg} + 182.4 \, \text{mmHg} \]4. **Result**: \[ P_{\text{gas}} = 867.13 \, \text{mmHg} \]Thus, the pressure of the gas
