Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Because of mercury's high density (13.6 g/cm3), it assumes a height that is easy to read for most pressures in the clinical range. Water columns can also be used to measure pressure (in cm H2O), but only low pressures. Because water is 13.6 times less dense than mercury, 1 atm.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
One mole of a gas, at a constant temperature and pressure, should occupy the same volume as 1 mol of any other gas. This ideal volume is termed the molar volume.
