Question

If the mercury in a manometer raises 30.0 millimeters due to a change in pressure, what is the corresponding change in pressure in atm?

Answer 1

Answer:

0.03947 atm

Explanation:

The relationship between mmHg and atm is given as;

1 atm = 760 mmHg

x atm = 30 mmHg

Upon solving for x;

x * 760 = 30 * 1

x = 30 / 760 = 0.03947 atm
