Respuesta :

Converting between atmospheres and millimeters of mercury. One atm. equals 760.0 mm Hg, so there will be a multiplication or division based on the direction of the change. Solution: multiply the atm value by 760.0 mmHg / atm.
answer=
[tex]3506 \div 760 = 4.6746 \: atm[/tex]

Answer:

4.61 atm

Explanation:

This question seeks to test our knowledge on conversion of millimeter of mercury (mmHg) to atmospheric pressure (atm).

The numeric relationship between mmHg and atm is given below

1 atm ⇒ 760 mmHg, hence

X atm ⇒ 3,506 mmHg         (where X is the unknown)

If you cross multiply the above, you will have

X =  [tex]\frac{3,506 * 1}{760}[/tex]

X = 4.61 atm

Thus, 4.61 atm is the atmospheric pressure of the gas exerted on the cylinder
