Kinetic theory of gases is the model or method which was developed in the 19th century by Maxwell and Boltzmann. This is possible as the interatomic force which is of short-range forces that are important for solids and liquids can be neglected for gases…

Textbook Question

Chapter 9, Problem 62E

A commercial mercury vapor analyzer can detect in air, concentrations of gaseous Hg atoms (which are poisonous) as low as 2 × 10 − 6 mg/L of air. At this concentration, what is the partial pressure of gaseous mercury if the atmospheric pressure is 733 tort at 26 °C?
