A U-tube manometer is open at one end and has a gas at the other end if the level of the mercury in both legs of the manometer is equal then what is the temperature of the gas?(a) 1 Pa(b) 1 Torr(c) 1 mm Hg(d) 1 atmThis question was addressed to me by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.I need to ask this question from Differential Pressure Measurements topic in chapter Temperature and Pressure of Basic Chemical Engineering

Answer»

The CORRECT answer is (d) 1 atm

To explain I would SAY: Since the level of mercury in both legs are equal, this means that pressure is equal on both ends, => pressure of gas = pressure of ATMOSPHERE = 1 atm.
