What is the type of gas in an arc lamp?
A combination of neon, argon, xenon, krypton, sodium, metal halide, and mercury. The common fluorescent lamp is a low pressure mercury arc lamp.
If the atmospheric pressure is 29.4 inches of mercury what is the corresponding pressure of mercury?
If the atmospheric pressure is 29.4 inches of mercury the corresponding inches of mercury is: 880.
What gases are used in light bulbs?
Ordinary incandescent light bulbs are filled with an inert (electrically non-conducting) gas such as Nitrogen.Other types are filled with a gas containing low pressure mercury vapor and argon, xenon, neon or krypton.See the Related links for more information.
Why the mercury can not rise in a lab thermometer if there is air in the glass tube?
Because the pressure of air may be greater than the pressure of the ascending mercury.
What is the state of mercury at standard temperature and pressure?
It is a Liquid.
What is the type of gas in an arc lamp?
A combination of neon, argon, xenon, krypton, sodium, metal halide, and mercury. The common fluorescent lamp is a low pressure mercury arc lamp.
Are the elements boron mercury and krypton metals?
No, only mercury is a metal.
What is the atomspere in Mercury?
Mercury doesn't have much of an atmosphere. The atmospheric pressure there is a trillion times less than the pressure on earth. It is made up of 42% oxygen, 29% sodium, 22% hydrogen, 6% helium, 0.5% potassium, and trace amounts of argon, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, water vapor, xenon, krypton, and neon.
Minor gases on mercury?
There are several minor amounts of gases located on Mercury, Examples include methane and krypton. Mercury is the smallest planet in the Solar System.
If the atmospheric pressure is 29.4 inches of mercury what is the corresponding pressure of mercury?
If the atmospheric pressure is 29.4 inches of mercury the corresponding inches of mercury is: 880.
Is Mercury igneous rock?
Answer Mercury is an element, but some mercury containing minerals are associated with volcanism.
What gases are used in fluorescent light bulbs?
Fluorescent lamps (both the "compact" variety and the long tubes) are filled with inert gas (argon, xenon, neon or krypton) and mercury vapor, under low pressure (less than 1% of atmospheric pressure)Neon. and lead
What a barometer with Mercury?
barometers with mercury measure air pressure. when the air pressure is high the mercury rises
How does a mercury pressure device work?
A sphygmomanometer is also known as a mercury pressure device. It works by a mechanical manometer made of mercury that measures the pressure.

When air pressure decreases the mercury in a barometer?
The mercury rises. The lower atmospheric pressure allows the mercury to drop in level.
An increase in air pressure will cause the mercury in a barometer to?
When you increase air pressure the mercury in a barometer will rise. Conversely when air pressure decreases the mercury in a barometer will drop.
