Answer: A) 656 mm Hg

Explanation:

Pressure of the gas is defined as the force exerted by the particles on the walls of the container. It is expressed in various terms like 'mmHg', 'atm', 'kiloPascals' etc..

All these units of pressure are inter convertible.

We are given:

Pressure of the atmosphere = 742 torr = 742 mm Hg (1mmHg = 1 torr)

Pressure of mercury = 8.60 cm = 86.0 mm Hg  (1cm = 10 mm)

Thus pressure of the gas container = Pressure of the atmosphere - Pressure of mercury = (742 - 86.0) mm Hg= 656 mm Hg

Thus the pressure in a gas container that is connected to an closed-end U-tube manometer is 656 mm Hg.

Sir Joseph John Thomson, most popularly known as J J Thomson. He was a famous scientist who was awarded the Noble prize for Physics for his discovery of the subatomic particle, electron.

He placed his famous model of an atom which is known as plum pudding model. He proposed that the atoms are described as the negative particles that is floating within a soup of the diffuse positive charge.
