The pressure of a gas in a sealed container is 152 mm Hg. This translates to A. 0.2 atm B. 2 atm C. 0.3 atm D. 5 atm

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer to your question is the letter A. 0.2 atm

Explanation:

Data

Pressure = 152 mmHg

Pressure = ? atm

Process

1.- Look for the conversion factor from mmHg to atm

                1 atm --------- 760 mmHg

2.- Use the rule of three and cross multiplication to solve this problem

                1 atm --------- 760 mmHg

                x        --------  152 mmHg

                x = (152 x 1)/760

                x = 152 / 760

                x = 0.2 atm

3.- Conclusion

152 mmHg are equivalent to 0.2 atm
