Question

the pressure of a gas in a container is 152 mm hg. This is equivalent to _____. 0.300 atm 2.00 atm 0.400 atm 0.200 atm

Answer 1

The pressure of a gas in the container is 152 mm hg.

Now to convert this pressure of gas from 'mm hg' to 'atm', we need to follow the given conversion:

As we know that,

1 millimeter of mercury = 0.00131 atmospheric pressure

Since we know the value of 1 mm of hg = 0.00131 atm. So,  152 millimeter of mercury should be equal to:

$152 \times 0.00131=0.19912$

So, the pressure of the gas in the container is 0.19912 atmospheric pressure or 0.200 atm.

Answer 2

Answer: 0.200 atm

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know that One atm = 760 millimeters Hg

Then, $\text{1 mm Hg}=\dfrac{1}{760}\text{ atm}$

Now, $\text{152 mm Hg}=\dfrac{152}{760}\text{ atm}$

$\text{1 mm Hg}=0.2\text{ atm}$

Hence, the complete statement will be : The pressure of a gas in a container is 152 mm hg. This is equivalent to 0.200 atm .
