Answer to Question #248198 in General Chemistry for Shems

Question

Lesson: Pressure

Convert the following:

1. 1.8 ATM to kPa
2. 235, 648 Pa to torr

Convert a pressure reading of 0.988 ATM to the following units below.

a. mm Hg b. torr

Answer 1

1. 1ATM=101.325 kPa, 1.8 ATM=1.8x101.325= 182.385 kPa

2. 1Pa= 0.00750062 Torr, 235.648Pa=235.648x0.0075=1.76736 Torr

3.

a. 0.988ATM=0.988x760=750.88 mmHg (1ATM=760 mmHg)

b.0.988ATM=0.988x760=750.88 Torr (1 ATM=760 Torr)
