a vessel connected to an open-end mercury manometer is filled with gas to a pressure of .835 atm.the atmospheric pressure is 755 torr.In which arm of the manometer will the level of mercury be higher?What is the height difference between the two arms of manometer?
See if this helps,

Since the pressure in the vessel is 0.835 atm(0.835*760 = about 635 mm) and atmospheric pressure is 755 mm in the problem, then the Hg level in the open end will be lower than the closed end so you want to look at #3 I believe. That is
pgas + pheight Hg = patm.
pgas is 635; patm is 755, Solve for pheight Hg.

To determine which arm of the manometer will have a higher level of mercury, we need to compare the pressure of the gas in the vessel to the atmospheric pressure.
Given:
Pressure of gas in the vessel = 0.835 atm
Atmospheric pressure = 755 torr
We need to convert the atmospheric pressure from torr to atm:
1 atm = 760 torr
So, the atmospheric pressure in atm is:
755 torr / 760 torr/atm = 0.9934 atm
Now, comparing the pressure of the gas in the vessel and atmospheric pressure:
Gas pressure = 0.835 atm
Atmospheric pressure = 0.9934 atm
Since the gas pressure is lower than atmospheric pressure, the level of mercury will be higher in the arm connected to the gas vessel.
To calculate the height difference between the two arms of the manometer, we need to subtract the gas pressure from the atmospheric pressure:
Height difference = Atmospheric pressure - Gas pressure
Height difference = 0.9934 atm - 0.835 atm
Height difference = 0.1584 atm
Therefore, the height difference between the two arms of the manometer is 0.1584 atm.
To determine the arm of the manometer with the higher level of mercury, we need to compare the pressure in the vessel to the atmospheric pressure.
Step 1: Convert atmospheric pressure to the same units as the vessel pressure.
755 torr = 0.996 atm (1 atm = 760 torr)
Step 2: Compare the two pressures.
The vessel pressure is 0.835 atm, while the atmospheric pressure is 0.996 atm.
Since the vessel pressure is lower than the atmospheric pressure, the arm of the manometer connected to the vessel will have a higher level of mercury. This is because the mercury in the arm connected to the vessel will be pushed down by the atmospheric pressure.
To calculate the height difference between the two arms of the manometer, you'll need additional information. The manometer provides a measure of the pressure difference, which can be converted to a height difference using the known density of mercury.
If you have the density of mercury, you can use the following equation to calculate the height difference:
P = ρgh
Where:
P is the pressure difference between the two arms of the manometer (in atm),
ρ is the density of mercury (in g/cm^3 or kg/m^3),
g is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.8 m/s^2), and
h is the height difference (in cm or m) you want to calculate.
Please provide the density of mercury to proceed with the calculation.
