A barometer correctly reads the atmospheric pressure as 76 cm of mercury. Water droplets are slowly introduced into the barometer tube by a dropper. The height of the mercury column first decreases and then becomes constant. If the saturation vapour pressure at the atmospheric temperature is 0.80 cm of mercury, find the height of the mercury column when it reaches its minimum value.
उत्तर
Atmospheric pressure = 76 cm Hg
SVP = 0.80 cm Hg
When water is introduced into the barometer, water evaporates.
Thus, it exerts its vapour pressure over the mercury meniscus.
As more and more water evaporates, the vapour pressure increases that forces down the mercury level further.
Finally, when the volume is saturated with the vapour at the atmospheric temperature, the highest vapour pressure, i.e. SVP is observed and the fall of mercury level reaches its minimum. Thus,
Net pressure acting on the column = 76 - 0.80 cmHg
Net length of Hg column at SVG = 75.2 cm

From a certain apparatus, the diffusion rate of hydrogen has an average value of 28.7 cm3 s–1. The diffusion of another gas under the same conditions is measured to have an average rate of 7.2 cm3 s–1. Identify the gas
[Hint: Use Graham’s law of diffusion: R1/R2 = (M2/M1)1/2, where R1, R2 are diffusion rates of gases 1 and 2, and M1 and M2 their respective molecular masses. The law is a simple consequence of kinetic theory.]

Figure shows a cylindrical tube with adiabatic walls and fitted with a diathermic separator. The separator can be slid in the tube by an external mechanism.
