When atmospheric pressure decreases, the mercury height in a barometer
1 answer:
Answer:
Decreases
Explanation:
The atmospheric pressure on the surface of the mercury pushes it up the evacuated tube until the downward pressure of the mercury equals the atmospheric pressure.
If the atmospheric pressure decreases, the mercury doesn't have to rise as high.
The mercury height decreases.

Answer:
The pH is equal to 4.41
Explanation:
Since HClO is a weak acid, its dissociation in aqueous medium is:
HClO ⇄ ClO- + H+
start: 0.05 0 0
change -x +x +x
balance 0.05-x x x
As it is a weak acid it dissociates very little, in its ClO- and H + ions, so the change is negative, where x is a degree of dissociation.
the acidity constant when equilibrium is reached is equal to:
The 0.05-x fraction can be approximated to 0.05, because the ionized fraction (x) is very small, therefore we have:
clearing the x and calculating its value we have:
the pH can be calculated by:
