A manometer is connected to gas container. Then the mercury level rises by 2 cm in the arm of the manometer which is not connected to the container. If the atmospheric pressure is 76 cm of mercury, then the pressure of the gas is ________ cm of mercury.

Answer»

80
76
72
78

Solution :If the rise in the level of mercury in the arm of the manometer which is not connected to the GAS container is 2 CM, the depression in the level of mercury in the other arm that is connected to the gas container is ALSO 2 cm. Thus, the difference in the levels of mercury in both the arms =2+2=4 cm
`:.` the pressure of the gas atmospheric pressure + pressure due to 4 cm of Hg = 76 cm of Hg+4 cm of Hg=80 cm of Hg
