A student reads a barometer in the laboratory and finds the prevailing atmospheric pressure to be 745 mmHg. Express this pressure in torr and in atmospheres.

Answer : The pressure in torr and in atmospheres are, 745 torr and 0.980 atm respectively.

Explanation :

As we are given that the atmospheric pressure is, 745 mmHg.

Now we have to determine the pressure in torr and atm.

Conversions used:

1 atm = 760 mmHg

1 atm = 760 torr

1 mmHg = 1 torr

As, 760 mmHg = 1 atm

So, 745 mmHg =

and,

As, 1 mmHg = 1 torr

So, 745 mmHg = 745 torr

Therefore, the pressure in torr and in atmospheres are, 745 torr and 0.980 atm respectively.

zfoods? ok, pressure is used to keep the heat inside and to keep the food perfect.
