A diagram for an open-tube manometer is shown below.

If the flask is open to the atmosphere, the mercury levels are equal. For each of the following situations where gas is contained in the flask, calculate the pressure in the flask in torr, atmospheres, and pascals.

c. Calculate the pressure in the flask in parts a and b (in torr) if the atmospheric pressure is 635 torr.

A flask containing neon gas is connected to an open-ended mercury manometer. The open end is exposed to the atmosphere, where the prevailing pressure is 745 torr. The mercury level in the open arm is 5.00 cm below that in the arm connected to the flask of neon. What is the neon pressure in atm? Show steps please

On a certain day a laboratory barometer indicates that the atmospheric pressure is 766.2 torr. A sample of gas is placed in a flask attached to an open-end mercury manometer, and a meter stick is used to measure the height of the mercury in the two arms of the U tube. The height of the mercury in the open-end arm is 100.4 mm, and the height in the arm in contact with the gas in the flask is 133.7 mm. What is the pressure of the gas in the flask (a) in atmospheres, (b) in kilopascals?
