Question

On a certain day, a laboratory barometer indicates that the atmospheric pressure is
764.7 torr. A sample of gas is placed in a flask attached to an open-end mercury
manometer (Figure 10.3), and a meter stick is used to measure the height of the
mercury in the two arms of the U tube. The height of the mercury in the open-ended
arm is 136.4 mm, and the height in the arm in contact with the gas in the flask is
103.8 mm. What is the pressure of the gas in the flask (a) in atmospheres, (b) in
kilopascals?
