Question

The gas pressure inside a high vacuum chamber is0.000100 torr . Calculate the gas pressure in mmHg and atm . Round each of your answers to significant digits.

Answer 1

Answer:

0.000100 mmHg

1.32 × 10⁻⁷ atm

Explanation:

The gas pressure inside a high vacuum chamber is 0.000100 torr.

1 torr is equal to 1 mmHg. We will use a conversion fraction to express 0.000100 torr in mmHg.

0.000100 torr × (1 mmHg/1 torr) = 0.000100 mmHg

1 atm is equal to 760 torr. We will use a conversion fraction to express 0.000100 torr in atm.

0.000100 torr × (1 atm/760 torr) = 1.32 × 10⁻⁷ atm
