Chapter 9, Problem 9.42SP
Assume that you have an open-end manometer filled with ethyl alcohol (density = 0.7893 g/mL at 20 °C) rather than mercury (density = 13.546 g/mL at 20 °C). What is the pressure in pascals if the level in the arm open to the atmosphere is 55.1 cm higher than the level in the arm connected to the gas sample and the atmospheric pressure reading is 752.3 mm Hg?
