The density of mercury is 13.5 times greater than the density of water. if you were to build a barometer that used water instead
1 answer:
Answer:
Height of water column 10.26 m
Explanation:
Given data;
Mercury density is 13.5 times higher than water density.
Mercury barometer 76 cm or 29.92 inches
we know that the mercury column is balanced by the pressure of air in mercury barometer
we know also standard atmospheric is equivalent to 29.92 inches of mercury
Height of water column must be

Answer:
A. The work done during the process is W = 0
B. The value of heat transfer during the process Q = 442.83
Explanation:
Given Data
Initial pressure = 100 k pa
Initial temperature = 25 degree Celsius = 298 Kelvin
Final pressure = 300 k pa
Vessel is rigid so change in volume of the gas is zero. so that initial volume is equal to final volume.
⇒ =
------------- (1)
Since volume of the gas is constant so pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas.
⇒ P ∝ T
⇒ =
⇒ Put all the values in the above formula we get the final temperature
⇒ =
× 298
⇒ = 894 Kelvin
(A). Work done during the process is given by W = P × ()
From equation (1), =
so work done W = P × 0 = 0
⇒ W = 0
Therefore the work done during the process is zero.
Heat transfer during the process is given by the formula Q = m (
-
)
Where m = mass of the gas = 1 kg
= specific heat at constant volume of nitrogen = 0.743
Thus the heat transfer Q = 1 × 0.743 × ( 894- 298 )
⇒ Q = 442.83
Therefore the value of heat transfer during the process Q = 442.83
