Question

In the United States, barometric pressures a re generally reported in inches of mercury (in. Hg). On a beautiful summer day in Chicago, the barometric pressure is 30.45 in. Hg. Convert this pressure to torr.

Answer 1

Answer:

773.43 torr

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Pressure (in inHg) = 30.45 inHg

Pressure (in torr) =?

We can convert 30.45 inHg to torr by doing the following:

1 inHg = 25.4 torr

Therefore,

30.45 inHg = 30.45 inHg × 25.4 torr / 1 inHg

30.45 inhg = 773.43 torr

Thus, 30.45 inhg is equivalent to 773.43 torr
