You are collecting gas over H2O in an experiment does the atmospheric pressure have anything to do with the pressure inside the gas collection container?

Yes, the pressure inside the collection container will be exactly equal to the atmospheric pressure if the water level in the collection container is level with the rest of the water. If the atmospheric pressure is different, then the pressure inside the collection container will be different, and that will affect how you calculate the amount of gas collected. If the pressure is different due to the difference in altitude of the location, or even different weather, the results will be different. Simply measuring the atmospheric pressure with a barometer will allow you correct for any such differences.


Why is mmHg used as a unit of measurement for pressure?

mmHg, or millimeters of mercury, is used as a unit of measurement for pressure because it is a convenient and widely accepted unit in the field of medicine and science. It is commonly used to measure blood pressure and atmospheric pressure due to its historical significance and practicality in these applications.


What does ATM in chemistry stand for?

ATM stands for atmosphere, such as in atmospheric pressure.


How does the boiling point different from lowland and highland?

The boiling point of a substance is lower at higher altitudes due to lower atmospheric pressure, which reduces the pressure exerted on the liquid. In contrast, at low altitudes with higher atmospheric pressure, the boiling point is higher as more pressure is needed to overcome atmospheric pressure.


What term defines the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the atmospheric pressure?

The temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the atmospheric pressure is called THE BOILING POINT.
