Chapter 5, Problem 5.5P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason for the level of mercury in the arm attached to the flask lower than the mercury level in the other arm in a closed-end manometer and higher in the open-end manometer is to be explained.

Concept introduction:

The Pressure of a gas can be measured with the help of a device known as a manometer.

There are basically two types of manometer. First one is closed-end manometer and the second one is open-end manometer.

In closed-end manometer, the difference in column height (Δh) is equal to the gas pressure.

Pgas=Δh

In an open-end manometer, the gas pressure is being measured either by adding or subtracting Δh from the atmospheric pressure (Patm) of the gas.

Case I: When Pgas is less than Patm then the gas pressure is being calculated as follows:

Pgas=PatmΔh

Case II: When  Pgas is more than Patm then the gas pressure is being calculated as follows:

Pgas=Patm+Δh
