Question

Convert 0.850 atm of pressure to its equivalent in millimeters of mercury.

The pressure in car tires is often measured in pounds per square inch (lb/in^2), with the recommended pressure being in the range of 25 to 45 lb/in^2 Suppose a tire has a pressure of 42.5 lb/in^2. Convert 42.5 lb/in^2 to its equivalent in atmospheres.

High-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) is a method used in chemistry and biochemistry to purify chemical substances. The pressures used in this procedure range from around 500 kilopascals (500,000 Pa) to about 60,000 kPa (60,000,000 Pa. It is often convenient to know the pressure in torr. If an HPLC procedure is running at a pressure of 1.44×108 Pa, what is its running pressure in torr?

 

Expert Solution
Step 1 : Unit Conversion of pressure

Pressure is define as amount of force applied per unit area

Pressure =Forcearea

Units Of Pressure  is atm., mmHg etc.

Unit of Pressure and its  Conversion relation

1 atm. = 760 mm Hg

1 atm. = 14.7 lb. in-2

1 atm. = 760 torr

1 atm. = 1.01325 * 105 Pa
