Question

The pressure inside a gas cylinder is 3,506 mmHg ,how many atmospheres of pressure is the gas exerting on the cylinder

Answer 1

Answer: 4.613 atm

Explanation:

Pressure of the gas is defined as the force exerted by the particles on the walls of the container. It is expressed in various terms like 'mmHg', 'atm', 'kiloPascals' etc..

All these units of pressure are inter convertible.

We are given:

Pressure of the gas = 3506 mmHg

Converting this unit of pressure into 'atm' by using conversion factor:

$760mmHg=1atm$

$3506mmHg=\frac{1}{760}\times 3506=4.613atm$

Thus there will be 4.613 atm in 3506 mmHg.

Answer 2

Below are the choices:

a)0.2168 atm

b)4.613 atm

c)34.60 atm

d467.4 atm

B is correct answer.
