A sample of gas exerts a pressure of 5.12 atm.
What is the pressure of this gas expressed in torr?
(3 significant figures, n.nnEn)
760 torr = 1 atmosphere.
To convert the pressure from atm to torr, you need to know the conversion factor.
1 atm = 760 torr
You can use this conversion factor to convert the pressure from atm to torr.
Given:
Pressure in atm = 5.12 atm
To convert to torr, you can use the following calculation:
Pressure in torr = Pressure in atm × Conversion factor
Pressure in torr = 5.12 atm × 760 torr/1 atm
Now, plug in the values and calculate:
Pressure in torr = 3891.2 torr
Therefore, the pressure of the gas expressed in torr is 3891.2 torr.
