Document Summary
Not readily observable (mass of molecules, molecular speed, collision frequency) Pressure gaseous atoms/ molecules exert a force when they collide with surface. Simplest way to measure gas pressure is to have it balance a liquid pressure (due to gravity) Si units for pressure is the pascal (pa) If pressure is due to gravitational force, f= mg. P = f/ a f= force a= area. P= hdg h= height d= density g= gravitational constant. Tube closed at one end, fill with hg, inverted into a pool of hg. Weight of hg causes level in tube to drop until phg = patm. P = atmospheric pressure h = height of liquid column d = density of the liquid. Average pressure at sea level will support a column of 760mm of mercury. International union of pure and applied chemistry (iupac) has defined standard pressure as exactly 100 000 pa = 1 bar.
