interconverting atmospheres and torr

Question

The ocean pressure at the depth of the Titanic wreck is 3.04 x 10^4 mmHg. Calculate the ocean pressure in atm and torr. Round each of your answers to 3 significant digits.

Answer 1

All pressure units are converted by using their equivalence at atmospheric pressure:

1 atm = 760 mmHg (Torr) = 1.1033 x 10⁵ Pascal = 14.7 lb/in² These are all equalities and can be used to form conversion factors.

Start with what you know and cancel units with the appropriate conversion factor.

3.04 x 10⁴ mm Hg (is that many Torr)

3.04 x 10⁴ Torr *(1 atm/760 Torr) =
