Chapter 11, Problem 26E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Each of the given measurement is to be converted to millimetres of mercury.

Concept Introduction: Atmospheres is the simplest unit to measure pressure.

The SI unit of pressure is Pascal $\left(\text{Pa}\right)$.

The third unit to measure pressure is millimetres of mercury $\left(\text{mm Hg}\right)$.

The relation between $\text{atm}$ and $\text{mm Hg}$ is:

$1\text{ atm}=760\text{ mm Hg}$

The relation between $\text{Pa}$ and $\text{mm Hg}$ is:

$1\text{ Pa}=0.007501\text{ mm Hg}$

The relation between $\text{psi}$ and $\text{mm Hg}$ is:

$1\text{ psi}=51.715\text{ mmHg}$

The relation between $\text{mm Hg}$ and $\text{torr}$ is:

$1\text{ mmHg}=1\text{ torr}$
