Question ) An open-ended manometer is connected to a sample of pure argon gas in a 250.0 mL flask. Atmospheric pressure is 758.2 mmHg at 24 °C. The manometer’s mercury in the arm attached to the gas is 15.4 mmHg lower than in the arm open to the atmosphere. Draw a picture of the manometer/flask set up in question #3 and explain how to determine the pressure of the argon gas in the flask. How many grams of argon are in the flask?
