Question

suppose that at the end of reaction 1 the level of the aqueous solution were 26 cm higher inside the buret than outside. compared to ambient pressure, the pressure of the gas inside the buret would be:

Answer 1

The pressure of the gas inside the buret would be higher than ambient pressure if the level of the aqueous solution were 26 cm higher inside the buret than outside.

This is because the gas inside the buret is being compressed by the weight of the liquid column above it. The higher the liquid column, the greater the pressure on the gas. So when the level of the aqueous solution is 26 cm higher inside the buret than outside, it means that there is a greater weight of liquid pushing down on the gas, which increases the pressure of the gas.

It's important to note that the pressure inside the buret is not only due to the liquid column but also due to the atmospheric pressure. So the pressure of the gas inside the buret will be higher than ambient pressure but not only by 26cm of liquid column.
