Question

Convert these to mm Hg:1. 1.7 atm2. 9.1 psi3. 740 torr

Answer 1

1. 1.7 atm = 1292 mm Hg

2. 9.1 psi = 470.6 mm Hg

3. 740 torr = 740 mm Hg

Step-by-step explanation

Conversion factor:

1 atm = 760 mm Hg

1 psi = 51.7149 mm Hg

1 torr = 1 mm Hg

Hence,

1. 1.7 atm

1 atm = 760 mm Hg

1.7 atm = x mm Hg

X = (1.7 atm/1 atm) x 760 mm Hg = 1292 mm Hg

1.7 atm = 1292 mm Hg

9.1 psi

1 psi = 51.7149 mm Hg

9.1 psi = x mm Hg

x = (9.1 psi/1 psi) x 51.7149 mm Hg = 470.6 mm Hg

9.1 psi = 470.6 mm Hg

3. 740 torr

1 torr = 1 mm Hg

740 torr = x mm Hg

x = (740 torr/1 torr) x 1 mm Hg = 740 mm Hg

740 torr = 740 mm Hg
