FIGURE 1.
1. Pressure and area of contact- because force is constant, the pressure the ballet dancers
exert against the floor depends on the area of contact.
2. Atmospheric pressure- molecules collide earth’s surface, creating pressure.
3. Torricelli's barometer- discovered that the pressure of the atmosphere supports a
column of mercury about 760 about the surface of the mercury in the dish.
4. Measuring the pressure of a gas sample- in the manometer below, the pressure of the
oxygen gas in the flask pushes on the mercury column.
5. Collecting gas by displacement- hydrogen can be collected by water displacement by
reacting zinc with sulfuric acid. The hydrogen gas produced displaces the water in the
gas-collecting bottle to the right. It also contains some water vapor.
MAIN IDEAS:
PRACTICE:
1. Convert a pressure of 1.75 atm to kPa and to mm Hg.
- 177.319 kilopascals
- Formula: 1.75 standard atmosphere. 177.3187 kilopascal.
2. The critical pressure of carbon dioxide is 72.7 atm. What is the value in units of pascals?
- The critical pressure of carbon dioxide (in kPa) = (72.7 atm)(101.325 kPa/1.0 atm) =
7366.328 kPa.
