The organic compound di‑n‑butyl phthalate, c 16 h 22 o 4 ( l ) , c16h22o4(l), is sometimes used as a low‑density ( 1.046 g ⋅ ml − 1 ) (1.046 g⋅ml−1) manometer fluid. compute the pressure in torr of a gas that supports a 459 mm 459 mm column of di‑n‑butyl phthalate. the density of mercury is 13.53 g ⋅ ml − 1

36.63 Torr

Explanation:

You need to use two expressions, one for pressure and the other with the relation of density and height of the column.

For the pressure:

P = h * d * g  (1)

h is height.

d density

g gravity

The second expression put a relation between the densities and height of the column so:

d1/d2 = h1/h2 (2)

let 1 be the phthalate, and 2 the mercury.

Let's calculate first the relation of density:

d1/d2 = 13.53 / 1.046 = 12.93

Now with the first expression, we can calculate the pressure so:

P = hdg

We have two compounds so,

h1d1g = h2d2g ---> gravity cancels out

From here, we can solve for h2:

h2 = h1*(d1/d2)

replacing:

h2 = 459 / 12.53

h2 = 36.63 mm

1 mmHg is 1 torr, therefore the pressure of the gas in Torr would be 36.63 Torr

smooth muscle is composed of involuntary muscles found within the walls of organs and structures such as the esophagus, stomach, intestines, and blood vessels. those muscles push materials like food or blood through organs. unlike skeletal muscle, smooth muscle can never be under your control.

there is none because earth is stationary and flat.
