The mercury in a barometer of a cross-sectional area 1 cm² stands at 75 cm, and the space above it is 9 cm in length. What
volume of air, measured at 3. The mercury in a barometer of a cross-sectional area 1 cm² stands at 75 cm, and the space above it is 9 cm in length. What
volume of air, measured at atmospheric pressure, would have to be admitted into the space to cause the column of the mercury
to drop to 59 cm?

Respuesta :

The ideal gas equation and the pressure in barometer allows us to find the amount of air that we must introduce into the barometer for the change in height of the mercury column is:

  • The  variation  of the volume is: ΔV = 7.67 cm³

Pressure is defined by the relationship between force and area.

       P = F / A

The ideal gas equation establishes a relationship between pressure, volume, and temperature of an ideal gas.

          PV = nR T

Where P is pressure, V is volume, and T is temperature.

Let's write this equation for two points assuming that the temperature has not changed.

          P₀ V₀ = P₁ V₁

          V₁ = [tex]\frac{P_o}{P_1} \ V_o[/tex]                 (1)

The subscript "o" is used for the start point and the subscript "1" for the end point.

The pressure in a barometer is:

         P = ρ g y

They indicate the initial height of the barometer y₀=75 cm, the distance from empty space y'₀ = 9 cm and the final height of the barometer y₁ = 59 cm.

 

The volume of the cylinder is

         V = π r² y

Let's calculate the initial volume.

         V₀ = π 1 9

         V₀ = 28.27 cm³

We substitute in equation 1.

         V₁ = [tex]\frac{\rho \ g \ y_o}{\rho \ g \ y_1} \ V_o[/tex]  

         V₁ = [tex]\frac{y_o}{y_1} \ V_o[/tex]  

Let's calculate.

        V₁ = [tex]\frac{75}{59} \ 27.27[/tex]  

        V₁ = 35.94 cm³

The volume to be incremented is

         ΔV = V₁ - V₀

         ΔV = 35.94 - 28.27

         ΔV = 7.67 cm³

Using the ideal gas equation and the pressure in barometer we can find the amount of air that we must introduce into the barometer for the change in height of the mercury column is:

  • The change of the volume is: ΔV = 7.67 cm³
