This set of Chemical Process Calculation Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Pressure and Hydrostatic Head-II”.

1. _____________ is used for the measurement of gauge pressure.
a) Manometer
b) Barometer
c) Hydrometer
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Manometer is used for the measurement of gauge pressure.

2. The density of liquid A is 1.6 g cm-3 and its height h(A) = 16.9 cm, then the density of oil B of height h(B) = 30 cm in the U-tube is about
Find the pressures at point ‘a’ & point ‘b’ when density of liquid A is 1.6 g cm-3
a) 0.90 g/cm3
b) 1.12 g/cm3
c) 2.24 g/cm3
d) 3.54 g/cm3
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation:
Pressure at point ‘b’ = Atmospheric pressure + ρB ghB
Pressure at point ‘a’ = Atmospheric pressure + ρAghA
Pressures at point ‘a’ = point ‘b’.

3. In the sketch, the height h is equivalent to 150 kPa and the barometer reading is 100 kPa. What is pressure inside the tank that is attached to the manometer?
Find the pressure inside the tank that is attached to the manometer
a) 250 kPa
b) 150 kPa
c) 100 kPa
d) 50 kPa
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Pressure inside the tank = atmospheric pressure + pressure due to liquid height h.

4-5. For the given manometer
Find the density of the liquid 1 if value of d2 & d3 are 2.5 m & 2 m
4. The value of d2 and d3 are 2.5 m and 2 m respectively and densities for liquids 2 and 3 are 1.8 and 1.3 kg/m3 respectively. What is the density of the liquid 1?
Assume P1 = P2
a) 1.48
b) 1.58
c) 1.68
d) 1.67
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: P1 + ρ1d1g = P2 + ρ2d2g + ρ3d3g.

5. Find out the incorrect statement if both the liquids 2 and 3 have same height and density 2.5m and 1.7 g/cm3?
Assume: d1 = d2 + d3
a) Density of all three liquids is equal
b) ρ1d1 = ρ2d2 = ρ3d3.
c) ρ1 = 2ρ2 = 2ρ3
d) All statements are incorrect
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: P1 + ρ1d1g = P2 + ρ2d2g + ρ3d3g.
