Question

question 18 (5 points) a pressure of 1030 torr is equal to ______. a) 0.738 atm b) 0.265 atm c) 1.36 atm d) 3.77 atm

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the conversion factor

We know that \( 1\ \text{atm} = 760\ \text{torr} \). So to convert torr to atm, we use the formula: \( \text{Pressure in atm} = \frac{\text{Pressure in torr}}{760} \).

Step2: Substitute the given value

Given pressure is \( 1030\ \text{torr} \). Substitute into the formula: \( \text{Pressure in atm} = \frac{1030}{760} \approx 1.36\ \text{atm} \).

Answer:

c) 1.36 atm
