High-pressure liquid chromatography

Question

If an HPLC procedure is running at a pressure of 2.95x10^8, what is it’s running pressure in torr?

Answer 1

Hi Erin,

As stated above, this question cannot be answered until you provide the original units of the pressure measurement. From what you say in your post, we don't know if the units for "2.95 x 10⁸" are in mm Hg, Pa, kPa, atm, or some other pressure unit. Once you know the proper original unit, you can pick a conversion factor and solve the problem.
