Chapter 12.1, Problem 12.1P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Conversion of $1.12\text{ atm}$ pressure into $\text{torr}$ has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Barometer is used for measurement of pressure of gas in atmospheric units $\left(\text{atm}\right)$. Pressure can also be represented in many units such as $\text{torr}$, $\text{mm Hg}$, and pascal $\left(\text{Pa}\right)$. These units can be related to one another as follows:

  $\begin{array}{c}1\text{ atm}=760\text{ torr}\\ =760\text{ mm Hg}\\ =\text{101325 Pa}\\ \text{=101}\text{.325 kPa}\end{array}$
