Some atoms<span> are more stable when they </span>gain or lose<span> an </span>electron<span> (or possibly two) and </span>form ions<span>. This results in a full outermost </span>electron<span> shell and makes them energetically more stable. Now, because the number of </span>electrons<span> does not equal the number of protons, each </span>ion<span> has a net charge.</span>

Caed for this question.
OLga [1]

Answer:

0.962 atm.

97.4 kPa.

731 torr.

14.1 psi.

97,434.6 Pa.

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, given the available factors equaling 1 atm of pressure, each required pressure turns out:

- Atmospheres: 1 atm = 760 mmHg:

p=731mmHg*\frac{1atm}{760mmHg} =0.962atm

- Kilopascals:: 101.3 kPa = 760 mmHg:

p=731mmHg*\frac{101.3kPa}{760mmHg} =97.4kPa

- Torrs: 760 torr = 760 mmHg:

p=731mmHg*\frac{760 torr}{760mmHg} =731 torr

- Pounds per square inch: 14.69 psi = 760 mmHg:

p=731mmHg*\frac{14.69}{760mmHg} =14.1psi

- Pascals: 101300 Pa = 760 mmHg:

p=731mmHg*\frac{101300Pa}{760mmHg} \\\\p=97,434.6Pa

Best regards.
