Answer:- 88 kPa.
Solution:- The level of mercury in the atmospheric arm that is the open arm is 83 mm. It indicates the gas pressure is 83 mm higher than the atmospheric pressure.
gas pressure = height of mercury level in open tube in mm + atmospheric pressure
Let's convert this 83 mm pressure to kpa since the atmospheric pressure is given in kPa and the answer is also asked to report in kPa.
mmHg is converted to atm first and then atm is converted to kpa.
760 mmHg = 1 atm
and 1 atm = 101.325 kPa
= 11 kPa
Atmospheric pressure is 76.9 kPa.
gas pressure = 11 kPa + 76.9 kPa
gas pressure = 87.9 kPa
If we think about sig figs rule then 87.9 should be round to 88 as in addition we go with least number of decimal places. 11 kPa does not have any decimal places and so the gas pressure is 88 kPa.
