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

Which term is de ned as the region in an atom where an electron is most likely to be located?
charle [14.2K]
Orbital
All atoms have the same number of electrons as protons. Negative electrons are attracted to the positive nucleus. This force of attraction keeps electrons constantly moving around the nucleus. The region where an electron is most likely to be found is called an orbital.

In two or more complete sentences explain how to balance the chemical equation and classify its reaction type.
Artemon [7]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

#1. Balanced equation: 2C₅H₅ + Fe → Fe(C₅H₅)₂

#2. Type of reaction: Synthesis reaction

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Balanced equations are equations that obey the law of conservation of mass.
  • When an equation is balanced the number of atoms of each element is equal on both side of the equation.
  • Equations are balanced by putting appropriate coefficients on the reactants and products.
  • In our case, we are going to put coefficients 2, 1 and 1.
  • Thus, the balanced equation will be;

2C₅H₅ + Fe → Fe(C₅H₅)₂

  • This type of a reaction is known as synthesis reaction, in which two or more reactants or compounds combine to form a single compound or product.
