At a certain place, the atmospheric pressure is 740 mm Hg, what will be the value of this pressure in the units of
(1) torr
(2) atm

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given: atmospheric pressure=740 mm Hg.
(1) 1 torr=1 mm Hg.
Therefore, 740 mm Hg=740 torr
(2) 1 atm=760 mm Hg
Thus, 740 mm `Hg=(1" atm")/("760 mm Hg")xx740" mm Hg"`
=0.97 atm
