Chapter 10.1, Problem 2RC

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The approximate height of the oil in the tube should be determined using the given data.

Concept Introduction:

Density of a gas can be find out with the help of ideal gas equation which is

$\text{PV}\text{=}\text{nRT}$

n in the given equation can be written as $\frac{\text{m}}{\text{M}}$ Since amount of any substance is given by dividing mass with molar mass.

Density, Pressure and Height are related by the equation:

$\begin{array}{l}\text{Pressure}\text{=}\text{ρgh}\\ \text{ρ}\text{-}\text{density}\\ \text{g}\text{-}\text{gravitational}\text{constant}\\ \text{h}\text{-}\text{height}\end{array}$
