Answer

$h=9.22m$

Work Step by Step

We can determine the required height of column of ethylene glycol as follows: First, we convert the given density into $Kg/m^3$ $d=\frac{1.12g}{cm^3}\times \frac{1Kg}{1000g}\times \frac{(100)^3cm^3}{(1)^3m^3}=1.12\times 10^3Kg/m^3$ Similarly, we convert Kilo Pascals into Pascals $P=1atm\times \frac{101.325KPa}{1atm}\times \frac{1000Pa}{1KPa}$ $P=1.01325\times 10^5Pa$ We know that $h=\frac{P}{dg}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $h=\frac{1.01325\times 10^5Pa}{(1.12\times 10^3Kg/m^3)(9.807m/s^2)}$ This simplifies to: $h=9.22m$
