100. mL of a gas are obtained from a reaction at 300.⁰C. What volume will the gas occupy at 100.⁰C?

The new volume is 65.1 mL.  

Explanation:

We have,

Initial volume of the gas is 100 mL

Initial temperature is 300 degrees Celsius

It is required to find the volume the gas will occupy at 100 degrees Celsius. Charles law gives the relation between volume and temperature such that,

So,

V₂ is new volume

V₁ = 100 mL

T₁ = 300 C = 573.15 K

T₂ = 100 C = 373.15 K

Plugging into formula we get :

So, the new volume is 65.1 mL.  

a mercury barometer is a device that uses the physical properties of mercury in a tube to measure barometric pressure. mercury barometers are used for : -

1. measurement of atmospheric pressure  

2. determining the altitude of a place

3. weather forecasting

4. calibration and checking of aneroid barometers

5. application in fluid mechanics

6. measurement of pressure in aircrafts

7. surface weather analysis

8. preparation of barographs

9. usage in physical sciences like physics, astronomy & chemistry

10. preparation of aircraft altimeters

characteristics of mercury barometer : -

1.used to define and measure atmospheric pressure.

2.on the average at sea level the column of mercury rises to a height of about 760 mm.

3.this quantity is equal to 1 atmosphere.

4.it is also known as standard atmospheric pressure.

5.a barometer in which the weight of a column of mercury in a glass tube with a sealed top is balanced against that of the atmosphere pressing on an exposed cistern of mercury at the base of the mercury column, the height of the column varying with atmospheric pressure.
