Answer to Question #109824 in General Chemistry for Kelley

Question

A barometric pressure on any given day is 738.6mmhg. What is the temperature correction factor?

Answer 1

In order to calculate the temperature correction factor we need to know the temperature at which the pressure is measured. There is an approximate list for the correction factor.

Temperature (⁰C) Factor

20 2.42

21 2.54

22 2.67

23 2.79

For the barometric pressure 738.6 mmHg nearly equals to 740 mmHg
