Interpretation:

Blank values in table below have to be determined.

torrin. Hgkilopascals (kPa)(a)30.2(b)752(c)99.3

Concept Introduction:

Barometer is used for measurement of pressure of gas in atmospheric units (atm). Pressure can also be represented in many units such as torr, mm Hg, and pascal (Pa). These units can be related to one another as follows:

  1 atm=760 torr=760 mm Hg=101325 Pa=101.325 kPa

Explanation of Solution

Conversion factor to convert mm Hg to torr is as follows:

  (1 torr1 mm Hg)

Pressure 30.2 in. Hg can be converted to torr as follows:

  Pressure(torr)=(30.2 in. Hg)(1 torr1 mm Hg)(25.4 mm Hg1 in. Hg)=767 torr

Conversion factor to convert torr to mm Hg is as follows:

  (1 mm Hg1 torr)

Pressure 752 torr can be converted to in. Hg as follows:

  Pressure(in. Hg)=(752 torr)(1 mm Hg1 torr)(1 in. Hg25.4 mm Hg)=29.6 in. Hg

Conversion factor to convert mm Hg to kPa is as follows:

  (101.325 kPa760 mm Hg)

Pressure 30.2 in. Hg can be converted to kPa as follows:

  Pressure(kPa)=(30.2 in. Hg)(101.325 kPa760 mm Hg)(25.4 mm Hg1 in. Hg)=102 kPa

Pressure 29.6 in. Hg can be converted to kPa as follows:

  Pressure(kPa)=(29.6 in. Hg)(101.325 kPa760 mm Hg)(25.4 mm Hg1 in. Hg)=100 kPa

Conversion factor to convert kPa to torr is as follows:

  (760 torr101.325 kPa)

Pressure 99.3 kPa can be converted to kPa as follows:

  Pressure(torr)=(99.3 kPa)(760 torr101.325 kPa)=745 torr

Pressure 745 torr can be converted to in. Hg as follows:

  Pressure(in. Hg)=(745 torr)(1 mm Hg1 torr)(1 in. Hg25.4 mm Hg)=29.3 in. Hg

Therefore, table can be filled as follows:

torrin. Hgkilopascals (kPa)(a)767_30.2102_(b)75229.6_100_(c)745_29.3_99.3
