Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The pressure 2.8 atm needs to be converted into psi.
Concept Introduction:
Pressure is defined as force applied per unit surface area. In case of fluids, it is the force applied by the particles of the liquid on the walls of the container. The unit of measurement is Pascal which is Newton per square meter. It is also measured in atmosphere, Torr, and psi.
(b)
Interpretation:
The pressure 520 mmHg needs to be converted into atm.
Concept Introduction:
Pressure is force per unit area and is usually depicted by Pascals which is SI unit. The units other than Pascal are Torr, psi and atm.
(c)
Interpretation:
The pressure 20 atm needs to be converted into torr.
Concept Introduction:
Pressure is force per unit area and is usually depicted by Pascals which is SI unit. The units other than Pascal are Torr, psi and atm.
(d)
Interpretation:
The pressure 100 mm Hg needs to be converted into Pa.
Concept Introduction:
Pressure is force per unit area and is usually depicted by Pascals which is SI unit. The units other than Pascal are Torr, psi and atm.
