Final answer:

The atmospheric pressure in pascals is 101573.52 pascals, in torr it is 762.4 torr, in kilopascals it is 101.57 kilopascals, and in atmospheres it is 1.001 atm.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The atmospheric pressure in pascals is calculated by multiplying the barometric pressure in mmHg by the conversion factor 133.3 pascals per mmHg. So, 762.4 mmHg x 133.3 pascals per mmHg = 101573.52 pascals.

b) The atmospheric pressure in torr is the same as the barometric pressure in mmHg. So, it is 762.4 torr.

c) To calculate the atmospheric pressure in kilopascals, divide the atmospheric pressure in pascals by 1000. So, 101573.52 pascals / 1000 = 101.57 kilopascals.

d) To calculate the atmospheric pressure in atmospheres, divide the barometric pressure in mmHg by 760. So, 762.4 mmHg / 760 = 1.001 atm.
