Capitolo 10, Problema 39a

Carry out the following conversions: (a) 352 torr to kPa

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Identify the conversion factor between torr and kPa. 1 atm = 760 torr and 1 atm = 101.325 kPa.
Set up the conversion equation using the conversion factor: \( \text{kPa} = \text{torr} \times \frac{101.325 \text{ kPa}}{760 \text{ torr}} \).
Substitute the given value (352 torr) into the equation: \( \text{kPa} = 352 \text{ torr} \times \frac{101.325 \text{ kPa}}{760 \text{ torr}} \).
Perform the multiplication and division to convert the pressure from torr to kPa.
Ensure the units cancel appropriately, leaving the final answer in kPa.
