Answer to Problem 6.21E

The pressure of 16.8cmHg is equal to 0.22atm.

Explanation of Solution

The relation between cmHg and atm is as follows.

1atm=76cmHg

The given pressure of 16.8cmHg can be converted to atm as follows.

1atm=76cmHg1cmHg=1atm76cmHg16.8cmHg=1atm76cmHg×16.8cmHg=0.22atm

Conclusion

The pressure of 16.8cmHg is equal to 0.22atm.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The pressure of 16.8cmHg is to be converted to mmHg.
