Answer:
1.30 m
Explanation:
The pressure (P) exerted by a column of a liquid can be calculated with the following expression:
[tex]P=\rho \times g \times h[/tex]
where,
ρ is the density of the liquid
g is the gravity
h is the height of the column
If both liquids exert the same pressure:
[tex]PHg = PCCl_{4}\\\rho Hg \times g \times hHg = \rho CCl_{4} \times g \times hCCl_{4}\\\rho Hg \times hHg = \rho CCl_{4} \times hCCl_{4}\\hCCl_{4 = \frac{\rho Hg \times hHg}{\rho CCl_{4}} =\frac{13.6g/mL \times 15.2cm}{1.59g/mL} = 130cm=1.30m[/tex]
