A mercury barometer is an instrument in which the weight of a column of mercury in a glass tube with a sealed top is balanced ag

ainst that of the atmosphere pressing on an exposed cistern of mercury at the base of the mercury column. The height of the column varies with atmospheric pressure. What is the height of the mercury column if you are on top of a mountain where the pressure of the atmosphere is 0.455 atm? The density of mercury is 13.6 \cdot 10 ^3⋅10 ​3 ​​ kg/m^3 ​3 ​​ .

Answer:

h = 0.346 m

Explanation:

mercury barometer:

  • Pa = ρgh

∴ Pa = 0.455 atm = 46102.875 Pa = 46102.875 Kg/ms²

∴ ρ = 13600 Kg/m³

∴ g = 9.80 m/s²

⇒ h = (46102.875 Kg/ms²) / (13600 Kg/m³ )(9.80 m/s²)

⇒ h = 0.346 m

How does the arrangement of elements in periods relate to electron configuration
VashaNatasha [74]
Electronic Configuration of elements in a period is same because If you see the electronic Configuration of elements in a period you will notice that the valence shell electrons for all elements are present in the same Shell. For example, in first period consisting of Hydrogen and Helium, both the elements' valence electrons are present in the same Shell.
Electronic Configuration of Hydrogen,
1s^1
Electronic Configuration of Helium,
1s^2

Both elements' valance electrons are present in the 1st shell

(This is just a small example to understand the concept because other periods are long but the first period is short that's why I gave the example of the first period)

Linolenic acid (C18H30O2 - M.W. = 278.42 g/mol) reacts with hydrogen gas according to the equation: C18H30O2 + 3H2 (g) → C18H36O
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

2.53 L is the volume of H₂ needed

Explanation:

The reaction is: C₁₈H₃₀O₂ + 3H₂ → C₁₈H₃₆O₂

By the way we can say, that 1 mol of linolenic acid reacts with 3 moles of oxygen in order to produce, 1 mol of stearic acid.

By stoichiometry, ratio is 1:3

Let's convert the mass of the linolenic acid to moles:

10.5 g . 1 mol / 278.42 g  = 0.0377 moles

We apply a rule of three:

1 mol of linolenic acid needs 3 moles of H₂ to react

Then, 0.0377 moles will react with (0.0377 . 3 )/1 = 0.113 moles of hydrogen

We apply the Ideal Gases Law to find out the volume (condition of measure are STP) → P . V = n . R . T → V = ( n . R .T ) / P

V = (0.113 mol . 0.082 L.atm/mol.K . 273.15K) 1 atm = 2.53 L

Which of the following elements is the most metallic
Marysya12 [62]
We found cesium, strontium, aluminum, sulfur, chlorine, and fluorine on the periodic table. Cesium is the farthest left and the lowest, while fluorine is the farthest right and the highest, so we know they have the highest metallic character and the lowest metallic character, respectively.
