Answer to Question #140153 in General Chemistry for Javier

Question

A sample of argon gas has a pressure of 2.90 atm. What would this pressure be in mm Hg?

Answer 1

Given

Argon gas has pressure = 2.90 atm

As, we know 1 atm = 760 mm Hg

So, 2.90 atm = (760 × 2.90) mmHg

= 2204 mmHg

Hence,

2.90 atm of pressure = 2204 mmHg
