1 atmosphere pressure = 760 torr

655 torr / ( 760 torr / ATM) = 0.86184 ATM

If you're not sure whether to multiply or divide when doing conversions, do this:

655 torr . 1 ATM

------------ * ---------

1. . 760 torr

The formatting did not display exactly as I wanted it to appear

This is read like a fraction. Since 1 ATM = 760 torr, the numerator and denominator are equal, so it's like just multiplying by 1 and won't change the value.

The torr units in numerator/denominator cancel out, and the only unit remaining is atmospheres.

1 ATM= 760 torr

1 ATM/760 torr x 685 torr = 0.895 ATM

What does 500 mm Hg equals?

500 mmHg or 500 torr is a gas pressure approximately 66% of the standard sea level air pressure of 760 torr ... it is the air pressure one would find at an altitude of approximately 3km or 10000 feet ... at sea level, 500 torr would be considered a partial vacuum of 0.66 atm.


As the pressure of a gas at 760 torr is changed to 380 torr at a constant temperature the volum of the gas will?

Boyle's law states that pressure is indirectly proportional to the volume. There fore as the pressure of a gas at 760 torr is changed to 380 torr, the volume will increase. Boyle's Law: P1 x V1 = P2 x V2 Rearranging leads to: P1 / P2 = V2 / V1 Substituting our values: 760 / 380 = V2 / V1 Thus the final volume will be twice the initial volume.

What is the new pressure of 150 ml of a gas that is compressed to 50 ml when the original pressure was 3.0atm?

You have to convert the temperature to Kelvins, the volume to liters, and the pressure to torr. You use the combined gas law and solve for pressure. P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2 P1 = P2V2T1/T2V1 P1 = (608 torr)(0.300 L)(323.15 K) / (310.15 K) (0.555 L) P1 = 342.42 torr I believe that if you are using the correct number of significant digits, you would write the answer as 342 torr.
