Problem Set (Pressure Conversion and Manometer)

1. The document provides three questions about pressure unit conversions and calculations using manometers. 2. Question 1 involves converting 29.2 in. Hg to mm Hg, torr, atm, and kPa. Question 2 uses a closed-end manometer to calculate pressure in torr, Pa, and mmHg. Question 3 uses an open-end manometer to calculate pressure in mmHg, atm, and kPa. 3. The questions require performing unit conversions and using manometer measurements and formulas to calculate pressure values in various standard units.

PROBLEM SET
(PRESSURE CONVERSION AND MANOMETER)
Directions: Answer the given questions below. Write your answer in one sheet of yellow pad/pad
paper with complete solution. (1 point each)

QUESTION 1: CONVERSION OF PRESSURE UNITS


The United States National Weather Service reports pressure in both inches of Hg and
millibars. Convert a pressure of 29.2 in. Hg into:

25.4 𝑚𝑚
29.2 𝑖𝑛 𝐻𝑔  × = 742 𝑚𝑚 𝐻𝑔
1 𝑖𝑛
1. torr
1 𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑟  = 1 𝑚𝑚𝐻𝑔║1742 𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑟  =  742 𝑚𝑚𝐻𝑔

2. atm
1 𝑎𝑡𝑚
742 𝑚𝑚𝐻𝑔 × = 0.976 𝑎𝑡𝑚
760 𝑚𝑚𝐻𝑔
3. kPa
101.3 𝑘𝑃𝑎
0.976 𝑎𝑡𝑚  × = 98.9 𝑘𝑃𝑎
1 𝑎𝑡𝑚
QUESTION 2: CALCULATION OF PRESSURE USING A CLOSED-END
MANOMETER
The pressure of a sample of gas is measured with a closed-end manometer, as shown
below.
The liquid in the manometer is mercury. Determine the pressure of the gas in:
1. torr
1 𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑟 = 1 𝑚𝑚𝐻𝑔
264 𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑟 = 264 𝑚𝑚𝐻𝑔
2. Pa
1 𝑎𝑡𝑚 101.3 𝑘𝑃𝑎 103  𝑃𝑎
264 𝑚𝑚𝐻𝑔 × × × = 35200 𝑃𝑎
760 𝑚𝑚𝐻𝑔 1 𝑎𝑡𝑚 1 𝑘𝑃𝑎
3. mmHg
10 𝑚𝑚𝐻𝑔
26.4 𝑐𝑚𝐻𝑔  × = 264 𝑚𝑚𝐻𝑔
1 𝑐𝑚𝐻𝑔

QUESTION 3: CALCULATION OF PRESSURE USING AN OPEN-END


MANOMETER
The pressure of a sample of gas is measured at sea level with an open-end Hg
(mercury) manometer, as shown below.

Determine the pressure of the gas in:


13.7 𝑐𝑚𝐻𝑔 = 137 𝑚𝑚𝐻𝑔
1. mm Hg
760 𝑚𝑚𝐻𝑔 + 137 𝑚𝑚𝐻𝑔 = 897 𝑚𝑚𝐻𝑔
2. atm
1 𝑎𝑡𝑚
897 𝑚𝑚𝐻𝑔 × = 1.18 𝑎𝑡𝑚
760 𝑚𝑚𝐻𝑔
3. kPa
101.3 𝑘𝑃𝑎
1.18 𝑎𝑡𝑚 × = 120.  𝑘𝑃𝑎
1 𝑎𝑡𝑚
