I have to convert the following pressures into torr:
1. 2.48x10^-3atm
2. 4.75x10^6atm
3. 7.60x10^6
i have no idea how to convert it when there are scientific notations involved. please help =]]

2.48 x 10^-3. You CAN solve your problem of "not handling" exponents by rewriting the number as 0.00248. The conversion factor is 1 atm = 760 torr.
2.48 x 10^-3 atm x (760 torr/1 atm) = 1.88 torr. Or the other way is 0.00248 x 760 = 1.88 torr.
Do you not know how to punch it in on your calculator. Do you have an instruction manual? On my calculator, I punch in 2.48E-3 and multiply by 760.
To convert pressures into torr, you can use the following conversion:
1 atm = 760 torr
Let's convert each pressure step by step:
1. To convert 2.48x10^-3 atm to torr, multiply it by the conversion factor.
2.48x10^-3 atm * 760 torr/1 atm = 1.8848 torr
The pressure is approximately 1.8848 torr.
2. To convert 4.75x10^6 atm to torr, multiply it by the conversion factor.
4.75x10^6 atm * 760 torr/1 atm = 3.62x10^9 torr
The pressure is approximately 3.62x10^9 torr.
3. To convert 7.60x10^6 atm to torr, multiply it by the conversion factor.
7.60x10^6 atm * 760 torr/1 atm = 5.776x10^9 torr
The pressure is approximately 5.776x10^9 torr.
So, the converted pressures are:
1. 2.48x10^-3 atm ≈ 1.8848 torr
2. 4.75x10^6 atm ≈ 3.62x10^9 torr
3. 7.60x10^6 atm ≈ 5.776x10^9 torr
To convert pressures from one unit to another, you can use conversion factors. In this case, you want to convert from atm (atmospheres) to torr.
1. To convert from atm to torr, you can use the conversion factor: 1 atm = 760 torr.
Now, let's convert the given pressures into torr:
1. 2.48x10^-3 atm:
- Multiply the given pressure by the conversion factor:
2.48x10^-3 atm * 760 torr/atm
- Calculate the result:
= 1.88 torr (rounded to two decimal places)
2. 4.75x10^6 atm:
- Multiply the given pressure by the conversion factor:
4.75x10^6 atm * 760 torr/atm
- Calculate the result:
= 3.61x10^9 torr
3. 7.60x10^6 atm:
- Multiply the given pressure by the conversion factor:
7.60x10^6 atm * 760 torr/atm
- Calculate the result:
= 5.78x10^9 torr
So, the converted pressures are:
1. 2.48x10^-3 atm = 1.88 torr
2. 4.75x10^6 atm = 3.61x10^9 torr
3. 7.60x10^6 atm = 5.78x10^9 torr
Remember to pay attention to significant figures while rounding your final answers.
