the vapor pressure of water at 5 °c is 6.55 mmhg. calculate the vapor pressure in atm and torr. round each of your answers to 3 significant digits.
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Convert mmHg to atm
Use the conversion factor 1 atm = 760 mmHg. So, $P_{atm}=\frac{6.55}{760}$. $P_{atm}=\frac{6.55}{760}\approx0.00862$ atm
Step2: Convert mmHg to torr
Since 1 mmHg = 1 torr, the pressure in torr is the same as the pressure in mmHg. So $P_{torr}=6.55$ torr
Answer:
0.00862 atm 6.55 torr
