Question

at a pressure of 951 mbar, what would be the corresponding height of the mercury in the column of a mercury baramote Beyond measurements in chemistry laboratories, changes in atmospheric pressure are used by meteorologists to aid in the prediction of weather. High-pressure areas usually indicate fair weather; low-pressure areas are associated with storm systems Part B At a pressure of 951 mbar, what would be the corresponding height of the mercury in the column of a mercury barometer?

Explanation / Answer

Ans. 1 mbar = 0.750062 mmHg.

So,      

            951 mbar = 951 x 0.750062 mmHg = 713.31 mmHg
