Inches of mercury (inHg) is commonly used as unit of atmospheric pressure. It indicates the height of Hg (in inch) that atmosphe

ric pressure can support. If atmospheric pressure is 27.6 inHg, what is it in atm? Use decimals (not scientific notation) and 3 sig figs when entering your answer. Given: 1 in = 2.54 cm = 25.4 mm; 1 atm = 760 mmHg.

Answer:

The answer to your question is 0.92 atm

Explanation:

Data

Atmospheric pressure = 27.6 inHg

Atmospheric pressure = ? atm

Process

1.- Convert inHg to cmHg

                      1 in Hg ------------------- 2.54 cm

                    27.6 inHg ----------------- x

                     x = (27.6x 2.54) / 1

                     x = 70.1 cm

2.- Convert cmHg to mmHg

                     2.54 cm ----------------- 25.4 mmHg

                      70.1 cm ----------------  x

                      x = (70.1 x 25.4)/2.54

                      x = 701 mmHg

3.- Convert mmHg to atm

                      760 mmHg ------------- 1 atm

                      701 mmHg  -------------  x

                       x = (701 x 1)/760

                       x = 0.922 atm

Asap... define pure substances...​
gtnhenbr [62]

A pure substance refers to an element or a compound that has no component of another compound or element. Pure substances are made of only one type of atom or molecule. Hydrogen gas and pure iron are examples of pure substances. Hydrogen consists of hydrogen atoms only while iron consists of only iron atoms. Mixing two pure substances results in a mixture. To separate the two, scientists use a method known as filtration. Mixtures can either be homogeneous or heterogeneous. The measure used to determine how pure a substance may be called purity. Besides hydrogen and iron, other pure substances include gold, diamonds, sugar, and baking soda.

How do you balance the equation Hydrogen plus Oxygen yield water?
Andre45 [30]
Hey there! Hello!

Not sure if you still need the answer to this question, but I'd love to help out if you do. 

So, the way to balance this equation is pretty simple. First, you need to keep in mind that molecules of hydrogen and oxygen do not come in single molecules, but in bonded pairs, represented by H2 and O2. 

H2+O2=H2O

But, that's incorrect. The combination of 2 hydrogen molecules with 1 oxygen molecule yields water, but that leaves one oxygen molecule leftover. When broken down, this is how many of each molecule is on each side of the previously stated equation:

Left:
H: 2
O: 2

Right:
H: 2
O: 1

So we have to multiply H2O on the right side by 2 in order to get this:

H2+O2=2(H2O)

Left: 
H: 2
O: 2

Right: 
H: 4
O: 2

The last step is to multiply H2 on the left by two to make it match up with the right side, balancing the equation:

2(H2)+O2=2(H2O)

Left: 
H: 4
O: 2

Right: 
H: 4
O: 2

That makes our equation balanced! I hope this helped you out, feel free to ask any additional questions if you need further clarification. :-)

Please help!<br><br> Why is cooler, drier air related to High Pressure
azamat
Due to density differences among two air masses. Due to high air pressure in cooler, drier gases, the air is supposed tobe rather dense and it does, mind you, tend to move towards warm or moist areas.
