Chapter 10, Problem 80E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The total weight of the atmosphere on a human hand is to calculated in pounds.

Concept introduction:

The pressure is defined as the force applied per unit area. The SI unit of pressure is Pascal. The other units of pressure are psi, atm, torr and mmHg. These units can be converted into one another by multiplying or dividing by a specific number. The pressure exerted by the atmosphere has a standard value.

One atmosphere of pressure is equal to 760 mmHg. This unit is used in the common barometer and manometer. Determine height (in mm) of a column of liquid bromine if the pressure is one atmosphere. The densities of mercury and bromine are 13.546 and 3.119 g/cm3, respectively.
The density of a mixture of gases may be calculated by summing the products of the density of each gas and the fractional volume of space occupied by that gas.  Assume that dry air is 20.96% by volume oxygen, 78.11% nitrogen, and 0.930% argon.  Determine the density of argon.
It takes 3.500 in³ of mercury to make one manometer. Find the price of the mercury used to make 19 manometers by first calculating the cost of mercury for one manometer. What is the price of mercury used to make one manometer? What is the price of mercury used to make 19 manometers?
