1.

pressure - manometer
If the density of liquid A (carbon tetrachloride) is 1.6 g cm-3 and its height hA = 15.0 cm, then the density of oil B of height hB = 30 cm in the U-tube is about

  0.31 g cm-3

  3.20 g cm-3

  0.80 g cm-3

  1.25 g cm-3

  Half-n-half Clue
 

2.

  Hydrometer

  Manometer

  Aneroid

  Anemometer

  Half-n-half Clue
 

3.

What instrument is used for measuring atmospheric pressure?

  Sphygmomanometer

  Hygrometer

  Barometer

  Half-n-half Clue
 

4.

pressure - manometer
One arm of a glass U-tube is open to the atmosphere, whereas the other vertical arm is connected to a gas supply. The difference in levels of mercury (density = 13.6 g cm-3) between the vertical arms of the U-tube manometer is h = 3 cm. If the atmospheric pressure is 760 mm Hg and the gravitational acceleration is 9.8 m s-2, then the pressure of the gas is about

  1.017 × 107dynes cm-2

  1.053 × 106dynes cm-2

  1.074 × 104dynes cm-2

  3.998 × 104dynes cm-2

  Half-n-half Clue
 

5.

_______ states that the product of the pressure and volume of a fixed mass of gas is constant provided the temperature is unchanged.

  Boyle's Law

  Avogadro's Law

  Charles' Law

  Dalton's Law

  Half-n-half Clue
 

6.

2 Pa = _______ dynes cm-2

  0.2

  20

  200000

  2e-05

  Half-n-half Clue
 

7.

35 litres of a gas at a pressure of 4 bar are compressed to 7 litres without any change in the temperature. The final pressure of the gas is about

  20.0  bar

  35  bar

  1.40  bar

  0.80 bar
