Barometer Measures atmospheric pressure P air = P Hg in tube Downward P of Hg column balanced by atmospheric pressure on Hg in dish One atmosphere (atm) = P that supports 760 mm Hg column (0 o C, sea level) = 1.01 x 10 2 kpa Units of Pressure mmhg = height of supported Hg column (mm) Torr = mmhg Atmospheres (atm) 1 atm is pressure at 0 o C, sea level 1 atm = 760 mmhg Pascals (Pa) - SI pressure unit 1 atm = 101.325 kpa
Why Hg in Barometer? Liquid over wide range, very dense, low reactivity Pressure on a barometer supports a 560-mm Hg column. What is the height in a barometer w/ H 2 O instead of Hg? Mass of supported liquid = (height)(cross-section area)(density) (h Hg )(area Hg )(d Hg ) = (h H2O )(area H2O )(d H2O ) h H2O = (h Hg )(area Hg )(d Hg ) / (area H2O )(d H2O ) h H2O = (h Hg )(d Hg ) / (d H2O ) = (560 mm)(13.6 g cm -3 ) / (1.00 g cm -3 ) = 7616 mm = 7.62 m 5.3 Gas Laws 4 macroscopic properties of a gas sample V = volume T = temperature P = pressure n = amount (number of moles, measured indirectly) Each gas law holds 2 variables constant observes effect of other 2 on one another Boyle s Law: P vs. V Relate P and V w/ T and n constant [Demonstration] Volume is inversely proportional to pressure V 1/P V = k 1 /P PV = k 1 PV = k 1 P 1 V 1 = k 1, P 2 V 2 =k 1 P 1 V 1 = P 2 V 2 Boyle s law: P vs. V Independent of identity of gas Constant T and n Excellent approximation at low P & high T P = k 1 /V or V = k 1 /P The volume of a sample of neon is 2.0 L at 0.50 atm of pressure.
