Document Summary

Not readily observable: mass of molecules, molecular speed, energy, collison frequency. To hold gas, you must have a gas capable of exerting a force on it (e. g. walls of balloon) Gas is exerting a balancing force on the container. To measure gas, have it balance a liquid. Consider cylinder of liquid q/ area(a) & height (h) Force exerting at bottom of cylinder is weight f=m(g) Density of liquid is d=m/v so m=v(d) v=a(h) Right tube is closed & liquid column is supported by atmospheric pressure.

Liquid (mercury) responds to the difference in gas pressures. Average pressure at sea level will support a column of 760mm of mercury. Definition of pressure unit of atmospheres : 1 atm= 760mm hg. Unit mm hg is known as torr. 1 atm= 760 mm hg= 760 torr. Like barometer but measures pressure differences using liquid.
