QUESTION:
Convert each measurement to atm.
(a) 1277 mm Hg
(b) \(2.38 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{Pa}\)
(c) 127 psi
(d) 455 torr
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 4
(a) 1277 mm Hg
Pressure of gas = 1277 mm Hg
It is known that 1 atm = 760 mm Hg
Conversion factor used = 1 atm/ 760 mm Hg
We have multiplied the given pressure of the gas in mmHg with the conversion factor, to calculate the pressure in the atmosphere.
Hence, \(1277 \mathrm{mm} \mathrm{Hg} \times \frac{1 \mathrm{atm}}{760 \mathrm{mm} \mathrm{Hg}}=1.680\mathrm{\ atm}\)
Therefore the pressure of the gas in atmosphere is 1.680 atm
