A flask containing helium gas is connected to an open-ended mercury manometer. The open end is exposed to the atmosphere, where

the prevailing pressure is 752 torr. The mercury level in the open arm is 26 mm above that in the arm connected to the flask of helium.What is the helium pressure, in torr?

Answer:

726 torr

Explanation:

Generally, atmospheric pressure can be measured using a manometer which is in form of a U-shaped tube. In addition, 1 mm Hg is equivalent to 1 torr. Therefore, 752 torr is equivalent to 752 mm Hg. Therefore, the total pressure will be equivalent to the atmospheric pressure (mm Hg) + the mercury height.

In this case, the mercury height = -26 mm

Thus:

The helium pressure = 752 - 26 = 726 mm Hg

This is also equivalent to 726 torr

g A gas is compressed in a cylinder from a volume of 20.0 L to 2.0 L by a constant pressure of 10.0 atm. Calculate the amount of
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

The amount of work done on the system is 18234 J and the final positive sign means that this work corresponds to an increase in internal energy of the gas.

Explanation:

Thermodynamic work is called the transfer of energy between the system and the environment by methods that do not depend on the difference in temperatures between the two. When a system is compressed or expanded, a thermodynamic work is produced which is called pressure-volume work (p - v).

The pressure-volume work done by a system that compresses or expands at constant pressure is given by the expression:

W system= -p*∆V

Where:

  • W system: Work exchanged by the system with the environment. Its unit of measure in the International System is the joule (J)
  • p: Pressure. Its unit of measurement in the International System is the pascal (Pa)
  • ∆V: Volume variation (∆V = Vf - Vi). Its unit of measurement in the International System is cubic meter (m³)

In this case:

  • p= 10 atm= 1.013*10⁶ Pa (being 1 atm= 101325 Pa)
  • ΔV= 2 L- 20 L= -18 L= -0.018 m³ (being 1 L=0.001 m³)

Replacing:

W system= -1.013*10⁶ Pa* (-0.018 m³)

Solving:

W system= 18234 J

<u><em>The amount of work done on the system is 18234 J and the final positive sign means that this work corresponds to an increase in internal energy of the gas.</em></u>
