In a mercury-filled open end manometer, the level in the arm connected to the container is 28.3 cm higher than that of the level of the arm open to the atmosphere and the atmospheric pressure reading outside the apparatus is1.021 atm. Calculate the pressure inside a container in atmospheres. Concept introduction: Pressure is force per unit area. P = F A = N m 2 = m ⋅ a m 2 = k g ⋅ m s 2 m 2 = k g m ⋅ s 2 Its unit is Newton per meter square or we can say kilogram per meter per Second Square. These two are not the only units of pressure. The International system of unit (S.I unit) of pressure is Pascal, but these are not the only units of pressure there are more units of pressure like pounds per square inch, atmospheric (atm), mm Hg, torr etc. The pressure is measured in the U-tube as shown below: The pressure is measured by filling water into this tube so that the difference between the lengths of two sides of U-tube gives an idea about the pressure. In this tube, one end is kept at room atmospheric pressure and the other side to that whose pressure has to be measured. So, this is the reason for the different units of the pressure because the length can be measured in different units. In the case of water, there would be a requirement of a large U-tube so, mercury is used instead of water because its density is more than that of water. So, another unit of pressure was invented that is mmHg. To determine: The pressure in millimetre in the open end manometer.

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

In a mercury-filled open end manometer, the level in the arm connected to the container is 28.3 cm higher than that of the level of the arm open to the atmosphere and the atmospheric pressure reading outside the apparatus is1.021 atm. Calculate the pressure inside a container in atmospheres.

Concept introduction:

Pressure is force per unit area.

P=FA=Nm2=m⋅am2=kg⋅m s 2 m2=kgm⋅s2

Its unit is Newton per meter square or we can say kilogram per meter per Second Square. These two are not the only units of pressure. The International system of unit (S.I unit) of pressure is Pascal, but these are not the only units of pressure there are more units of pressure like pounds per square inch, atmospheric (atm), mm Hg, torr etc.

The pressure is measured in the U-tube as shown below: The pressure is measured by filling water into this tube so that the difference between the lengths of two sides of U-tube gives an idea about the pressure. In this tube, one end is kept at room atmospheric pressure and the other side to that whose pressure has to be measured. So, this is the reason for the different units of the pressure because the length can be measured in different units. In the case of water, there would be a requirement of a large U-tube so, mercury is used instead of water because its density is more than that of water. So, another unit of pressure was invented that is mmHg.

To determine:

The pressure in millimetre in the open end manometer.

For each reaction below, decide if the first stable organic product that forms in solution will create a new C - C bond, and check the appropriate box. Next, for each reaction to which you answered "Yes" to in the table, draw this product in the drawing area below. Note for advanced students: for this problem, don't worry if you think this product will continue to react under the current conditions - just focus on the first stable product you expect to form in solution. NH2 tu ? ? OH Will the first product that forms in this reaction create a new CC bond? Yes No Will the first product that forms in this reaction create a new CC bond? Yes No C $ ©

As the lead product manager at OrganometALEKS Industries, you are trying to decide if the following reaction will make a molecule with a new C-C bond as its major product: 1. MgCl ? 2. H₂O* If this reaction will work, draw the major organic product or products you would expect in the drawing area below. If there's more than one major product, you can draw them in any arrangement you like. Be sure you use wedge and dash bonds if necessary, for example to distinguish between major products with different stereochemistry. If the major products of this reaction won't have a new CC bond, just check the box under the drawing area and leave it blank. Click and drag to start drawing a structure. This reaction will not make a product with a new CC bond. G m
