QUESTION:
The atmospheric pressure at the summit of Mt. McKinley is \(606 \ \mathrm{mmHg}\) on a certain day. What is the pressure in atm and in kPa?
ANSWER:Step 1 of 2
Given:
The atmospheric pressure at the summit of Mt. McKinley is \(606 \mathrm{~mm} \mathrm{Hg}\)
It is known that \(1 \mathrm{~atm}=760 \mathrm{mmHg} \mathrm{atm}^{-1}\)
\(606 \mathrm{mmHg}\) will be equal to \(=\frac{606 \mathrm{mmHg}}{760 \mathrm{mmHgatm}-1}=0.797 \mathrm{~atm}\)
\(1 \mathrm{~atm}=101.325 \mathrm{kP}_{\mathrm{a}}\)
