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

How much heat do you need to raise the temperature of 150 g of ice from -30°C to -15°c?
OLga [1]
To solve this question, you must use the formula: q=mc(change in temperature), where q is heat, m is mass, C is specific heat and temperature change is temperature change. The specific heat for ice is 2.1kJ/Kg x K (given). The change in temperature is 15 degrees Celsius (which you should change to kelvins so you can cancel out units), or 273 + 15 = 288K. The mass is 150 grams, which is 0.15 kg. Now, we can solve for q, heat. We will do this by substituting variables into the formula. After simplifying and cancelling out units, the answer we get is: 90.72kJ.

Air is composed of nitrogen oxygen and based on that information air can be described as
Vilka [71]

Answer:

Air can be described as:  Mass and Mixture of Gases

Mass is defined as how much stuff an object contains - and by stuff, I mean matter, like atoms and molecules. And even though you can't see it, air has a lot of atoms and molecules. Air is a gas (as opposed to a liquid or a solid) and contains about 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and 1% argon.
