Question

Convert a pressure of 0.0248 mm Hg to the equivalent pressure in pascals (Pa).

Answer 1

To convert 0.0248 mm Hg to pascals (Pa), we use the conversion factor that 760 mm Hg equals 101,325 Pa. The conversion results in a pressure of 3.306×10 pascals.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert the pressure from millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) to pascals (Pa), we can use the fact that 760 mm Hg is equivalent to 101,325 Pa (standard atmospheric pressure). The given pressure is 0.0248 mm Hg. Using the conversion factor 1 atm = 760 mm Hg, we get:

Pressure in atm = 0.0248 mm Hg / 760 mm Hg = 3.263×10-5 atm

Since 1 atm is equal to 101,325 Pa, we can then write:

Pressure in Pa = 3.263×10-5 atm × 101,325 Pa/atm = 3.306×10Pa

This is the equivalent pressure in pascals.

Answer 2

Answer is 3.306 Pa.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a simple unit conversion problem.

1 atm = 760 mmHg = 101325 Pa

Hence,

0.0248 mmHg = (101325 Pa / 760 mmHg) x 0.0248 mmHg

= 3.306 Pa

Pressure can be measured by using many units such as atm, Pa, torr, bar, cmHg, mmHg and so on.

The relationships among those units as follows

1 atm = 101325 Pa = 1.01325 bar = 760 torr, 760 mmHg = 76 cmHg
