Q. 8.7

An oxygen tank contains oxygen $(O_{2})$ at a pressure of $2.00$ atm. What is the pressure in the tank in terms of the following units?
a. torr

b. mmHg

Verified

Answer

Part(a) The pressure in the tank is $1520 t o r r$

Part(b) The pressure in the tank is $1520 m m H g$

1Part(a) Step 1 : Given information

We are given that an oxygen tank contains oxygen $(O_{2})$ at a pressure of $2.00$ atm . We have to find pressure in torr.

2Part(a) Step 2 : Simplify

As we know $1 a t m = 760 t o r r$

Therefore, $2 a t m = 2 \times 760 = 1520 t o r r$

3Part(a) Step 1 : Given information

We are given that an oxygen tank contains oxygen at a pressure of $2.00$ atm . We have to find pressure in mmHg.

4Part(b) Step 2 : Simplify

As we know, $1 a t m = 760 m m H g$

Therefore, $2 a t m = 2 \times 760 = 1520 m m H g$
