Question

The pressure of a particular sample of gas is 350.8 torr. What is this pressure in units of atm?

Answer 1

Answer:

0.4613 atm

Explanations:

To convert 350.8torr to atm, we will use the conversion rate.

$1\text{atm=}760\text{torr}$

We are to convert 350.8 torr to atm, we can express this as:

$x=350.8torr$

x is the pressure in units of atm

Divide both equations to have:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{x}=\frac{760}{350.6} \\ 760x=350.6 \\ x=\frac{350.6}{760} \\ x=0.4613\text{atm} \end{gathered}$

Hence the pressure of the gas in units of atm is 0.4613 atm
