Manometer Practice Questions

A manometer is a U-shaped tube filled with mercury that measures the pressure of gas in an enclosed container by comparing it to atmospheric pressure. The document includes useful equations for converting pressure units and provides several example problems for calculating gas pressure using a manometer. It emphasizes the importance of drawing a diagram to visualize the pressure differences in the manometer.

Manometers Name Chem Worksheet ‘A manometer is a device that measures the pressure of a gas in an enclosed container. It is made from a U-shaped tube filled with mercury. The pressure of the gas in the container is compared to the pressure from the atmosphere. If the gas pressure is the same as the atmospheric pressure the level of mercury in both sides of the U-tube will be the same. If the gas is at a higher pressure than the atmosphere the mercury level on the side open to the atmosphere will be higher. If the gas is at a lower pressure than the atmosphere the mercury level on the side open to the atmosphere will be lower. Gas pressure is equal (Gas pressure i more han as pressure islese han _amospbere pseu stieaphene presse simosphere presaue USEFUL EQUATIONS 1.00 atm = 101300 Pa 1.00 atm=101.3kPa 1.00 atm = 14.7 psi 1.00 atm = 760 torr 1,00 aim = 760 mmHg 1 cm= 10mm example An enclosed container of gas is connected to a manometer.
