Chapter 9, Problem 1PP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The pressure of a gas in $\text{atm}$ and $\text{torr}$ units are to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

The pressure of a gas is defined as the rate of momentum transferred between the particles of gas per unit area of the gas. It is the ratio of force $\left(F\right)$ exerted by the particles of gas to the area $\left(A\right)$ of the gas.

$P=\frac{F}{A}$
