Mastering chemistry hat do you predict for the height of a barometer column based on 1-iodododecane, when the atmospheric pressure is 751 torr ? note that 1 torr corresponds to 1 mm of a liquid mercury column.

the height of a iodododecane barometer column =66.46mm

Explanation:

we will the density of liquid 1-iodododecane and the density of mecury (compare with the given value of mercury)

when the atmospheric pressure is 751 torr ?

the compound 1-iodododecane has a density of 1.2g/mL

the density of mercury is 13.56g/mL

for mercury at

1 torr corresponds to 1 mm of a liquid mercury column= 13.56g/ml

for 1-iodododecane

751toor = ? at 1.2g/mL

1 torr = 1mm = 13.56

751 torr of mercury = 751mm = 13.56

751 toor of iodo = ? = 1.2

751mm = 13.56

?  1.2

1.2 * 751)/13.56 =66.46mm

the height of a iodododecane barometer column =66.46mm
