    Open and Closed Manometer Problems

    Uploaded by

    Mohamed Azlan Suhot
    This document contains 9 problems involving open and closed manometers used to calculate gas pressures under various conditions. The problems provide information like the height difference of mercury columns or atmospheric pressure and ask for the pressure of various gases like hydrogen, helium, argon, nitrogen, ammonia, oxygen, and chlorine in units like kPa, atmospheres, and torr. Mercury level differences and atmospheric pressures are used to calculate the unknown gas pressures based on relationships between pressure and mercury levels in open and closed manometer setups.

    Open and Closed Manometer Problems


    1. An open manometer is lled with mercury. The mercury level is 12 mm higher on the side open to the atmosphere. What is the total pressure of the gas, in kPa, if the atmospheric pressure is 100.8 kPa?

    2. An open manometer is lled with mercury and connected to a container of hydrogen gas. The mercury level is 57 mm higher in the arm of the tube connected to the hydrogen. If the atmospheric pressure is 0.985 atm, what is the pressure of the hydrogen gas, in atmospheres?

    3. A closed manometer is lled with mercury and attached to a container of helium. The dierence in height of mercury between the two arms is 521 mm. What is the pressure of the helium, in torr?

    4. An open manometer connected to a tank of argon has a mercury level 83 mm higher in the atmospheric arm. If the atmospheric pressure is 76.9 kPa, what is the pressure of the argon in kPa?

    5. A closed manometer is lled with mercury and attached to a container of nitrogen gas. The dierence in height of mercury in the two arms is 435 mm. What is the pressure of the nitrogen gas in kPa, atm, and torr?

    6. The mercury level in the sample arm of an open manometer is 546 mm higher than in the open arm when the atmospheric pressure is 88.9 kPa. What is the pressure of the gas?

    7. An open manometer is lled with mercury and the closed end is lled with ammonia. If the mercury rises 23.4 mm on the side of the manometer attached to the ammonia, what is the pressure of the ammonia if the atmospheric pressure is 716 torr?

    8. A closed manometer is lled with mercury and attached to a container of oxygen gas. The dierence in height of mercury in the two arms is 37 mm. What is the pressure of the oxygen gas in torr, atm and kPa?

    9. An open manometer is lled with mercury and connected to a container of chlorine gas. The mercury level is 120.1 mm higher in the arm of the tub open to the atmosphere. Atmospheric pressure is 99.8 kPa. What is the pressure of the chlorine gas, in kPa?
