Convert a pressure of 23.8 in. Hg into kilopascal.
Ok so I looked up kilopascal and it Said 1 Kpa = 1000 pa
So I began to set it up like this 23.8 / 29.2 x1000 am I correct
To convert inches of mercury (in. Hg) to kilopascals (kPa), you need to consider two conversion factors:
1. 1 inch of mercury (in. Hg) is equivalent to 33.86389 kilopascals (kPa).
2. 1 kilopascal (kPa) is equal to 1000 pascals (Pa).
Now, let's perform the conversion step by step:
1. Start with the given pressure in inches of mercury (in. Hg): 23.8 in. Hg
2. Convert inches of mercury to kilopascals using the first conversion factor:
23.8 in. Hg × 33.86389 kPa/in. Hg = 805.608 kPa
So, the pressure of 23.8 in. Hg is equal to 805.608 kPa.
You don't need to divide by 29.2; that value is specific to converting millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) to inches of mercury (in. Hg).
