MEASUREMENT OF PRESSURE
Barometer : A barometer is an instrument that is used for the measurement of pressure. The construction of
the barometer is as follows

Cross sectional view of the capillary column

A thin narrow calibrated capillary tube is filled to the brim, with a liquid such as mercury, and is inverted into
a trough filled with the same fluid. Now depending on the external atmospheric pressure, the level of the
mercury inside the tube will adjust itself, the reading of which can be monitored. When the mercury column
inside the capillary comes to rest, then the net forces on the column should be balanced.
Applying force balance, we get,
Patm × A= m×g (‘A’ is the cross-sectional area of the capillary tube)
If ‘ ’ is the density of the fluid, then m= × g × h (‘h’ is the height to which mercury has risen in the capillary)
hence, Patm × A = ( × g × h) × A
or, Patm = gh
JEE (Adv.)-Chemistry Ideal gas
Faulty Barometer :
An ideal barometer will show a correct reading only if the space above the mercury column is vacuum, but in
case if some gas column is trapped in the space above the mercury column, then the barometer is classified
as a faulty barometer. The reading of such a barometer will be less than the true pressure.
For such a faulty barometer P ×A gas

P0A = mg + Pgas A
P0 = gh + Pgas

Dalton's Law : Suppose a mixture of two ideal gases, A and B, is contained in a volume V at a temperature
T. Then, since each gas is ideal, we can write
RT RT
PA = nA , PB = nB
V V
That is, in the mixture each gas exerts a pressure that is the same as it would exert if it were present alone,
and this pressure is proportional to the number of moles of the gas present. The quantities PA and PB are
called the partial pressures of A and B respectively. According to Dalton's law of partial pressures, the total
pressure, Pt , exerted on the walls of the vessel is the sum of the partial pressures of the two gases :
RT
Pt = PA + PB = (nA + nB) .
V
The expression can be generalised so as to apply to a mixture of any number of gases. The result is

Pt = Pi = RT ni , ...(1)
i V i
where ' i ' is an index that identifies each component in the mixture and the symbol i stands for the operation
of adding all the indexed quantities together. Another useful expression of the law of partial pressures is
obtained by writing

RT RT PA nA nA
ni
PA = nA , Pt = , Pt
= ni , PA = Pt ni
. ....(2)
V V i i i

nA
The quantity ni , is called the mole fraction of component A, and equation (2) says that the partial
i

nA
pressure of any component , such as component A, is the total pressure of the mixture multiplied by ni ,
i

the fraction of the total moles which are component A.
