Chapter 11, Problem 24E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Each of the given measurement to $\text{atm}$ is to be converted.

Concept Introduction: Atmospheres is the simplest unit to measure pressure. The SI unit of pressure is Pascal $\left(\text{Pa}\right)$. Third unit to measure pressure is millimeters of mercury $\left(\text{mm Hg}\right)$.

Relation between $\text{torr}$ and $\text{atm}$ is:

$1\text{ torr}=\frac{1}{760}\text{ atm}$

Relation between $\text{Pa}$ and $\text{atm}$ is:

$1\text{ pa}=9.89\times {10}^{-6}\text{ atm}$

Relation between $\text{psi}$ and $\text{atm}$ is:

$1\text{ psi}=\text{0}\text{.068 atm}$

Relation between $\text{in}\text{. Hg}$ and $\text{atm}$ is:

$1\text{ in Hg}=0.0334\text{ atm}$
