Convert this measurement to atmospheres (atm).

Question

The pressure is recorded as 738 mmHg. Convert this measurement to atmospheres (atm).

Useful Equations:
1.00 atm = 101300 Pa
1.00 atm = 101.3 kPa
1.00 atm = 14.7 psi
1 in. = 2.54 cm
1.00 atm = 760 mmHg
1.00 atm = 760 torr
1 cm = 10 mm

               Hi Chantell..I'll take a crack at this one......

 

 

           We have:      738 mmHg

                             1 atm  = 760 mmHg

 

 

         =   738 mmHg

               _________

                760 mmHg/atm                Notice that the mmHg on top and bottom cancel....

 

 

 

            =  738   

               ______

                760 atm             

 

              =  0.971  atm

 

 

              Hope this is what you are   asking for.
