Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The pressure of 76.8 cmHg in atm units is 1.01 atm.
  2. The pressure of 27.5 atm in kPa unit is 2786 kPa.
  3. The pressure of 6.50atm in bar unit is 6.59 bar.
  4. The pressure of 0.937 kPa in torr unit is 7.03 torr.

Step by step solution

01

Conversion for (a)

Convert the unit from cmHg to mmHg,

1 cmHg = 10 mmHg

76.8 cmHg ×10 mmHg1 cmHg  =  768 mmHg

 atm = 760 mmHg

The conversion of 768 mmHgto atm is,

768 mmHg×1 atm760 mmHg  =  1.01 atm

Thus, the pressure in the atm unit is 1.01 atm.

02

Conversion for (b)

101.325 kPa  =  1 atm

The conversion of 27.5 atm to kPa is,

27.5 atm ×101.325 kPa1 atm  =  2786 kPa

Thus, the pressure in the kPa unit is 2786 kPa

03

Conversion for (c)

 atm  =  1.01325  bar

The conversion of 6.50 atm to bar is,

6.5 atm ×1.01325  bar1 atm =  6.59 bar

Thus, the pressure in bar unit is 6.59 bar.

04

Conversion for (d)

Convert kPa into atm,

101.325 kPa = 1atm

0.937 kPa×1 atm1 01.325 kPa  =  0.009247atm

The conversion of 0.009247 atm to torrs is,

1 atm = 760 torr

0.009247atm  ×760 torr1  atm  =  7.03 torr

Thus, the pressure in torr unit is 7.03 torr.
