The gravitational force exerted by an object is given by F = mg, where F is the force in newtons, m is the mass in kilograms, and g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s²).
(b) Osmium (Z = 76) is a transition metal in Group 8B(8) and has the highest density of any element (22.6 g/mL). If an osmium column is 1 m² in area, how high must it be for its pressure to equal atmospheric pressure? [Use the answer from part (a) in your calculation.]

Respuesta :

The height of the column is 0.457 m and the mass of the atmosphere is calculated as 1.03 × 10 ⁴ kg.

What is Pascal?

Pascal is defined as the force per unit area. It expressed in Newton pr square meter of area.

1 Pa = 1 N / m²

Pressure = force / Area

According to the question, the expression of force is as given below

F = mg

where,

F is the force,

m is the mass,

g is equal to the acceleration due to the gravity

Now, the area of the atmosphere is 1 m².The pressure is 1 atm. Pressure in Pascal.

1 atm = 1.01325 × 10 5pa

Therefore, the expression for pascal become as follows.

1.01325 × 10 5 pa = mg /area

1.01325 × 10 5 pa = m × 9.81 m/s² / 1 m²

M = 1.01325 × 10 5 pa × 1 m² / 9.81 m² × 1 Nm -² /1 pa × 1 kg m-² / 1 N

1.03 × 10 ⁴ kg

Given,

The density is 22.6 g /mL , pressure is 1 atm, and area is 1 m²

The relation between density and pressure can be given as follows.

P = hpg… … …(1 )

were , h is the height of the column

p is the density.

Hpg = 1.01325 × 10 5 pa × 1 N/m² /1 pa

H = 1.01325 × 10 5 N/m² / pg × 1 kg ms-² / 1 N

= 1.01325 × 10 5 kg m-¹ s -² / 22.6 g mL -1 × 1 kg/ 10 ³ g × 1 mL / 10 -6 m ³ × 9.81 m s- ²

= 0.457 m

Therefore, the height of the column is 0.457 m.

Thus, we concluded that the height of the column is 0.457 m and the mass of the atmosphere is calculated as 1.03 × 10 ⁴ kg.
