Question

The oxygen in a tank in the hospital respiratory unit has a pressure of 7220 mmHg. What is the pressure in atm?

a. 5.49 atm
b. 10.16 atm
c. 2.90 atm
d. 9.50 atm

Answer 1

9.50 atm

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert the above value into atm we use the following conversion

760 mmHg = 1 atm

We have

If 760 mmHg = 1 atm

7220 mmHg =

`(7220 * 1)/(760) = (7220)/(760) = (19)/(2) \\`

We have the final answer as

9.50 atm

Hope this helps you
