The side of the manometer in which mercury rises faces the?
Correct answer: A. Atmosphere
- A. Atmosphere
- B. Liquid
- C. Container
- D. Gas
Explanation
If the manometer is a closed-tube manometer, then typically the side with the mercury will face the atmosphere, and the other side will face the pressure or vacuum being measured. However, if the manometer is an open-tube manometer, then both sides may face the atmosphere. Only option A is correct

About Kinetic Molecular Theory
Kinetic molecular theory explains gases as rapidly moving particles separated by large distances, with negligible volume and negligible intermolecular attraction in the ideal model. It relates temperature to average kinetic energy and explains gas pressure, Boyle's and Charles's laws, diffusion, effusion and the conditions under which real gases deviate from ideal behavior.
