Question

A glass tube contains mercury. What would be the height of the column of mercury which would create pressure equal to 1.00 atm

Answer 1

Since 1.00 atm is equal to 760 mmHg, the height of the column of mercury which would create pressure equal to 1.00 atm is 760 mm or 76 cm

What are the units of pressure?

Pressure is defined as the force acting perpendicularly per unit area of a surface.

The units of pressure include;

• millimetres of mercury, mmHg
• aatmospheres, atm,
• pascals, Pa
• Newtons per square metre, N/m^2

1 atmosphere is equal to 760 mmHg.

Therefore, the height of the column of mercury which would create pressure equal to 1.00 atm is 760 mm or 76 cm
