Generally, the size and nature of gas molecules is stated by particulate level explanation of gases. Commonly, the presence of intermolecular forces and the rapid movement of gas molecules can be explained by kinetic theory of gases. During the fast movement the molecules collide with the walls of the container. Thus, the gas molecules are termed to be in some pressure values.

Barometer and manometer are devices used to measure the pressure of the systems.

Answer to Problem 55E
Barometer is used to measure the pressure of air in an environment. ‘Baro’ means ‘weight’ and ‘meter’ indicates ‘measurement’ and weight of air is measured in an area. Manometer is a U-shaped device to measure the atmospheric pressure. The variation of the height of the water in U-column is proportional to the pressure on the water column.

Boyle’s law states that at constant temperature volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure. According to Charles’s law, at constant pressure the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its pressure. Amontons’s refers that at constant volume the pressure of a gas varies directly with the increase in temperature. Combined gas includes the variations of pressure, volume, temperature of an ideal gas as PV = nRT.
