Ideal and Real Gases
Ideal gases obey conditions of the general gas laws under all states of pressure and temperature. Ideal gases are also named perfect gases. The attributes of ideal gases are as follows,
Gas Laws
Gas laws describe the ways in which volume, temperature, pressure, and other conditions correlate when matter is in a gaseous state. The very first observations about the physical properties of gases was made by Robert Boyle in 1662. Later discoveries we…
Gaseous State
It is well known that matter exists in different forms in our surroundings. There are five known states of matter, such as solids, gases, liquids, plasma and Bose-Einstein condensate. The last two are known newly in the recent days. Thus, the detailed fo…

Answer to Problem 7E

The mercury level in a barometer increases when a high pressure system moves into a region.

Explanation of Solution

Standard pressure is 1 atm. It is equal to the pressure of 76 cm mercury column.

Now, if a high pressure system moves into a region then the pressure increase will be indicated by the barometer. High pressure needs higher mercury level. So the mercury level in barometer will increase.

Conclusion

Mercury level will increase when a high pressure system moves into a region.
