Question

Convert a pressure of 800 mm Hg to the following units: a) psia; b) kPa; c) atm; d) mm H2O; e) mbar (1 std atm = 76 cm Hg = 101325 Pa = 14.696 lbf/in2)

Answer 1

To convert a pressure of 800 mm Hg to different units: a) In psia: 20.94 psia; b) In kPa: 106.06 kPa; c) In atm: 1.05 atm; d) In mm H2O: 10880 mm H2O; e) In mbar: 600 mbar.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert a pressure of 800 mm Hg to different units:

a) In psia: 800 mm Hg / 25.4 mm/inch x 1 atm / 760 mm Hg x 14.696 psi / 1 atm = 20.94 psia

b) In kPa: 800 mm Hg / 760 mm Hg x 101.325 kPa / 1 atm = 106.06 kPa

c) In atm: 800 mm Hg / 760 mm Hg = 1.05 atm

d) In mm H2O: 800 mm Hg x 13.6 mm H2O / 1 mm Hg = 10880 mm H2O

e) In mbar: 800 mm Hg / 1.333 mm Hg/mbar = 600 mbar
