Chapter 10, Problem 14QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The pressure in atm and kilopascals is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

The pressure exerted by a gas is the force per unit area and the symbol is $P$.

The S.I. unit of pressure isPascal and the common units are atm, mmHg, torr, and bar.

The conversion of pressure from one unit to other units is calculated by using the conversion factors as follows:

$\begin{array}{l}1\text{atm}\text{}=760\text{mmHg}\\ \text{1}\text{bar}=\text{750}\text{mmHg}\\ \text{1}\text{torr}=\text{ 1 mmHg}\\ \text{1 atm }=\text{ 101325 Pa}\end{array}$
