(II) How high would the level be in an alcohol barometer at normal atmospheric pressure?

Short Answer

Expert verified

At normal atmospheric pressure, the level of the alcohol barometer will be at a height of 13.08m.

Step by step solution

01

Step-1:  Pressure of a liquid

The pressure of a liquid can be expressed in terms of density of the substance, gravitational acceleration, and height.

02

Step-2:-Calculation of the height of the level of an alcohol barometer at atmospheric pressure
