Question
Chapter 13, Problem 104AP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Best explanation for how barometer works should be chosen from the multiple answers given.
Concept Introduction:
The working of barometer involves the balancing of weight of mercury and the glass tube against the atmospheric pressure. The weight of the air above the pool of mercury is known as the atmospheric pressure of mercury. Thus, the mercury level changes until the weight of mercury is exactly equal to the atmospheric pressure. If the level of mercury become constant, the pressure can be recorded at that time from the height of the mercury in the vertical column.

- If equal masses of O2 and N2 are placed in separate containers of equal volume at the same temperature, which of the following statements is true? If false, explain why it is false. (a) The pressure in the flask containing N2 is greater than that in the flask containing O2. (b) There are more molecules in the flask containing O2 than in the flask containing N2.arrow_forwardA sample of carbon monoxide was collected over water at a total pressure of 756 torr and a temperature of 18 °C. What is the pressure of the carbon monoxide? (See Table 9.2 for the vapor pressure of water.)arrow_forwardA sample of a compound of xenon and fluorine was confined in a bulb with a pressure of 18 tor. Hydrogen was added to the bulb until the pressure was 72 torr. Passage of an electric spark through the mixture produced Xe and HF. After the HF was removed by reaction with solid KOH, the final pressure of xenon and unreacted hydrogen in the bulb was 36 torr. What is the empirical formula of the xenon fluoride in the original sample? (Note: Xenon fluorides contain only one xenon atom per molecule.)arrow_forward
- A typical barometric pressure in Redding. California, is about 750 mm Hg. Calculate this pressure in atm and kPa.arrow_forwardAs 1 g of (lie radioactive element radium decays over 1 year. k produces 1.161018 alpha particles (helium nuclei). Each alpha particle becomes an atom of helium gas. What is the pressure ¡n pascal of the helium gas produced if it occupies a volume of 125 mL at a temperature of 25 C?arrow_forwardMany nitrate salts can be decomposed by heating. For example, blue, anhydrous copper(II) nitrate produces the gases nitrogen dioxide and oxygen when heated. In the laboratory, you find that a sample of this salt produced a 0.195-g mixture of gaseous NO2 and O2 with a total pressure of 725 mm Hg at 35 C in a 125-mL flask (and black, solid CuO was left as a residue). What is the average molar mass of the gas mixture? What are the mole fractions of NO2 and O2 in the mixture? What amount of each gas b in the mixture? Do these amounts reflect the relative amounts of NO2 and O2 expected based on the balanced equation? Is it possible that the fact that some NO2 molecules combine to give N2O4 plays a role? Heating copper(II) nitrate produces nitrogen dioxide and oxygen gas and leaves a residue of copper(ll) oxide.arrow_forward
