Among the units
Concept introduction:
Metric system is a measurement system which has units of meter, liter, and gram as the units for measuring length, volume and mass. Several countries have resisted adoption of the metric system as a universal system of measurement. In science, measurements are regularly recorded in metric units. SI system is an extension of the metric system and has seven base units.
Answer to Problem 1CE
The greatest gas pressure is expressed by
Explanation of Solution
The units of pressure include atmosphere
The relation between these units is shown below.
Therefore, an atmosphere is found to be the largest unit and the greatest gas pressure is
One atm expresses the greatest gas pressure.
