What else can I help you with?
Normal atmospheric pressure is enough to support a column of mercury approximately?
Standard pressure is the pressure exerted by a column of mercury exactly 760 mm high. This is called one atmosphere and is approximately the average pressure at sea level.
What state is xenon in at room temperature and normal atmospheric pressure?
Xenon is in the gas phase at room temperature and normal atmospheric pressure.
What C does water boil under normal atmospheric pressure?
Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius under normal atmospheric pressure.
Why water is not used as the medium for measurement of atmospheric pressure?
Purely a matter of convenience. A water barometer is entirely feasible, but the column height at normal atmospheric pressure is over 32 feet tall. In order to make the barometer more compact, it's convenient to use the heaviest available liquid. Mercury has a little more than 13 times the density of water, so the column height in a mercury barometer is only about 30 inches tall, making for a much more manageable instrument.
What is the atmospheric pressure inside the pressure cooker?
The atmospheric pressure inside a pressure cooker can reach around 15 psi (pounds per square inch) above normal atmospheric pressure. This higher pressure increases the boiling point of water and allows for faster cooking times.
What is normal atmosphere measured in?
Atmospheric pressure is measured by a barometer and expressed in millibars. Normal atmospheric pressure at sea level is 1013 millibars.
Who discovered atmospheric pressure?
Evangelista Torricelli discovered atmospheric pressure. Secretly, he created an expierement with some of his friends. By filling a bowl with mercury and placing a six foot long glass tube upside down into it, a vacuum was created, causing the mercury to rise up. This was an early barometer. The reason this expierement was kept secret was probably because in 1643, this would have been considered witchcraft because a vacuum was considered impossible.
What is the physical state of argon at -197 and normal atmospheric pressure?
Argon will be a gas at -197°C and normal atmospheric pressure, as it has a boiling point of -185.8°C at atmospheric pressure.
Normal atmospheric pressure is enough to support a column of mercury approximately?
Standard pressure is the pressure exerted by a column of mercury exactly 760 mm high. This is called one atmosphere and is approximately the average pressure at sea level.
What state is xenon in at room temperature and normal atmospheric pressure?
Xenon is in the gas phase at room temperature and normal atmospheric pressure.
Richard reads 28.9 inches of mercury on a barometer which is 1 inch lower than normal atmospheric pressure. The temperature is 40 degF. What type of weather is most likely to occur where Richard is?
Snowfall
Why do you mentioning the boiler pressure in 'ata'?
Normal atmospheric pressure is abbreviated as atm. But when computing for the amount of total pressure exerted on an object at a specific depth or elevation, including normal atmospheric pressure, then the abbreviation ata is used. It stands for atmospheric pressure absolute.
What C does water boil under normal atmospheric pressure?
Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius under normal atmospheric pressure.
What is ten bar?
Bar is a unit used to measure pressure, one bar is the normal atmospheric pressure of the on the surface of the earth, and ten bar is when the pressure is ten times the normal atmospheric pressure on the surface of the earth.
What does stratosphere contain?
The normal atmospheric gases, at low pressure.
Is the phase of matter which is exposed to normal atmospheric pressure solely dependent upon temperature?
Yes. The phase of matter which is exposed to normal atmospheric pressure solely dependent upon temperature.
