Answer to Question #138465 in General Chemistry for Javier

Question

An oxygen tank contains oxygen (O2) at a pressure of 4.50


What is the pressure in the tank in torr?


What is the pressure in the tank in mmHg?

Answer 1

pressure=4.50 atm

1) Convert into torr

1atm=760 torr

So 4.50atm=4.50×760torr

4.50 atm=3420 torr

So pressure of Oxygen in the tank is 3420 torr

2) pressure= 4.50atm

Convert into mmHg

1atm = 760 mmHg

4.50atm= 4.50×760 mmHg

4.50atm= 3420mmHg

pressure of Oxygen in the tank is 3420 mmHg
