Question

The partial pressure of argon in the atmosphere is 0.00934 atm. Calculate the partial pressure in mmHg andtorr . Round each of your answers to significant digits.

Answer 1

1. 7.0984 mmHg

2. 7.0984 torr

Step-by-step explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Partial Pressure of Ar = 0.00934 atm

1. The value of pressure in mmHg is obtained as shown below:

1 atm = 760mmHg

Therefore, 0.00934 atm = 0.00934 x 760 = 7.0984mmHg

2. The value of the pressure in torr is obtained as shown below:

1 atm = 760torr

Therefore, 0.00934 atm = 0.00934 x 760 = 7.0984torr
