Question

1. the atmospheric pressure in denver, colorado is about 0.900 atm. this pressure given in mm hg is

a. 760 mm hg
b. 844 mm hg
c. 91.2 mm hg
d. 684 mm hg
e. 532 mm hg

Explanation:

Step1: Unit conversion factor

We know that \(1\space atm = 760\space mm\space Hg\).

Step2: Convert \(0.900\space atm\) to \(mm\space Hg\)

Use the formula \(P_{mm\space Hg}=P_{atm}\times760\space mm\space Hg/atm\). Substitute \(P_{atm} = 0.900\space atm\) into the formula: \(P_{mm\space Hg}=0.900\times760\space mm\space Hg\).
