The compound 1-iodododecane is a nonvolatile liquid with a density of 1.20g/ml. the density of mercury is 13.6g/ml. part a what do you predict for the height of a barometer column based on 1-iodododecane, when the atmospheric pressure is 751 torr ?

As the atmospheric pressure is, P = dgh

Here d is the density of the mercury,

g is gravitation = 9.8 m/s²

h is height of the column, P = 751 torr = (751 torr × 1 atm / 760 torr) (101325 Pa) (1 N/m² / 1 Pa) = 100125 N/m²

Where, 1 N = 1 Kg / ms²

Thus, P = 100125 Kg / m³. s²

Therefore, height of the mercury column, when the atmospheric pressure is 751 torr,

h = P / gd

= (100125 kg / m³. s²) / (9.8 m/s²) (13.6 × 10³ kg / m³) = 0.751 m

As, d₁h₁ = d₂h₂

Here, d₁ is the density of the non-volatile liquid = 1.20 g/ml

d₂ is the density of the mercury = 13.6 g/ml

h₂ = 0.751 m

Thus, putting the values we get,

h₁ = d₂h₂ /d₁ = 13.6 g/ml × 0.751 m / 1.20 g/ml

= 8.5 m

the dissolution of polymer can be thermodynamically described in 2 steps.
