The pressure of the gas in the flask (in atm) when Δh = 5.89 cm is 1.04 atm
<h3>Data obtained from the question</h3>The following data were obtained from the question:
- Atmospheric pressure (Pa) = 730.1 torr = 730.1 mmHg
- Change in height (Δh) = 5.89 cm
- Pressure due to Δh (PΔh) = 5.89 cmHg = 5.89 × 10 = 58.9 mmHg
- Pressure of gas (P) =?
The pressure of the gas can be obtained as illustrated below:
P = Pa + PΔh
P = 730.1 + 58.9
P = 789 mmHg
Divide by 760 to express in atm
P = 789 / 760
P = 1.04 atm
Thus, the pressure of the gas when Δh = 5.89 cm is 1.04 atm
