If the gas inside the flask is cooled so that its pressure is reduced from 797.3 torr to a value of 715.7 torr what will be the height of the mercury in the open-end arm? (hint: the sum of the heights in both arms must remain constant regardless of the change in pressure.)

    The differential pressure is

    797.9 - 715.7 = 82.2 torr = 138815.25 Pa

    The height of the mercury in the open-end arm is calculated using

    ΔP = ρgh

    The density of mercury is 13560 kg/m3

    The height of the mercury is

    138815.25 Pa = 13560 kg/m3 (9.81 m/s2) h

    h = 1.04 m
