Answer :
The pressure of the neon gas in torr is 780.98 torr. Let P = pressure of neon gas, P₀ = atmospheric pressure = 734 torr and h = height of mercury level in open arm = 4.7 cm
It follows that the neon pressure is higher than the atmospheric pressure since the height of the mercury in the open arm of the open-ended mercury mamometer is higher than that in the neon arm.
So, P = P₀ + ρgh where
P and P₀ are as given above
ρ = 13600 kg/m³,
g = 9.8 m/s²
h = 4.7 cm = 0.047 m
So, substituting the values
P = 734 torr + 13600 kg/m³ × 9.8 m/s² × 0.047 m
P = 734 torr + 6264.16 Pa
P = 734 torr + 6264.16 Pa × 0.0075 torr/1 Pa
P = 780.9812 torr
P ≅ 780.98 torr
