Homework Statement
Air is trapped above liquid ethyl alcohol in a rigid container. If the air pressure above the liquid is 1.1 atm, determine the pressure inside a bubble 4.0 m below the surface of the liquid.
Homework Equations
P= P(nought) + (density)(gravity)(height)
density of alcohol .806 x 10^3
The Attempt at a Solution
Pnought would be the 1.1 atm
P= 1.1 + (806 kg/m^3)(9.8 m/s^2)(4 m)
= 31596
That isn't the right answer, so I'm very confused. Do I need to change atmospheres to kPas? Is that density correct? Am i even using the right equation?
