Chapter 8: Q. 8.8 (page 265)

On a climb up Mt. Whitney, the atmospheric pressure drops to 467 mmHg. What is the pressure in terms of the following units?
a. atm

b. torr

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part(a) The pressure is 0.61 atm.

Part(b) The pressure is 467 torr.

Step by step solution

01

Part(a) Step 1 : Given information

We are given that on a climb up Mt. Whitney, the atmospheric pressure drops to 467 mmHg . We have to find pressure in terms of atm.

02

Part(a) Step 2 : Simplify

As we know ,1atm=760mmHg

Therefore,467mmHg=1760脳467=0.61atm

03

Part(b) Step 1 : Given information

We are given that on a climb up Mt. Whitney, the atmospheric pressure drops to 467 mmHg . We have to find pressure in terms of torr.

04

Part(b) Step 2 : Simplify

As we know, 1mmHg=1torr

Therefore, 467mmHg=467torr
