Standard pressure is defined as 1atm, or 760mmHg. This is sea-level atmospheric pressure here on earth.
as we know that 1atm is equal to 760 torr therefore =622/760 =0.8184 atm.
751 mm col. Hg equal 0,988 157 9 atmosphere.
Personally, I would go from mmHg to Atm which the conversion factor is 760mmHg/1Atm. From there, go to kPa which is 101.325KPa/1Atm. Your answer should come out to be 60.43KPa.
Firstly a barometer does not use mercury to measure atmospheric pressure.Secondly you need to have a license to handle mercury since it is a very dangerous material.Some barometers do use mercury, but not to directly measure the atmospheric pressure. It was used because air did not mix with the mercury because of the density.So the air would "push down" on the mercury, pushing it up another tube that had a measuring system on it, usually metric.This is where we get the pressure unit Torr, which is 760mmHg, which is 1 ATM (atmosphere), the pressure at sea level.
a pascal is about 760mmHg. therefore, a pressure of 99100 pascal is about 130mmHg.
The air pressure changes based on altitude, but at sea level, it is 1 atm, or 760mmHg, or 760Torr.
1atm is equal to 760mmHg. Therefore, .520atm * 760mmHg/1atm = 395.2mmHg
The Celsius scale is in fact based on water, it freezes at 0 degrees and boils at 100 degrees Celsius at 760 mm Hg pressure.
760mmHg

Convert the 249 inches Hg to millimeters. 1 inch = 25.4mm 249*25.4=6324.6~6320mmHg Conversion factor 1atm=760mmHg 6320/760=8.32atm
Ratio. All pressure readings are on the ratio scale. There is a starting point, atmospheric pressure. If there blood pressure increases by 10%, there is 10% more force being exerted. I note a related one - temperature is a tricky one. If I have degrees C, then it is on the interval scale, but if I convert to degrees K, then it can be considered on the ratio scale, as there is a starting point, and a doubling K has meaning. I'M NEW, AND DID NOT WANT TO REMOVE THE FIRST ANSWER, BUT I AM CERTAIN IT IS INCORRECT. HERE IS WHY: Actually, the scale is INTERVAL, because of the above-mentioned fact that the starting point is the atmospheric pressure. Atmospheric pressure is not an absolute zero point. Say you are at the sea level, where normal air pressure is 1 atm=101.325kPa=760mmHg (millimeters of mercury are usually used to report blood pressure), and your Systolic Blood Pressure is 68mmHg (so the absolute value is: 760mmHg of starting point + 68mmHg of your blood pressure = 828mmHg). Now, let's say your Systolic Blood Pressure jumped 10%, that is to 74.8mmHg (the new absolute value is: 760mmHg of the same starting point + 74.8mmHg of your new blood pressure = 834.8mmHg), and the absolute ratio is not maintained, i.e.: 834.8mmHg / 828mmHg = 1.008. That is the absolute increase is about 0.8%. The differences become even more significant at higher elevations, where the air pressure is lower.
How high is high? The boiling temperature depends on the pressure of the atmosphere above the liquid. The higher you go the lower is the atmospheric pressure, and so the boiling temperature. Methanol boils at 64.7°C (148.4°F) at 760mmHg, about sea level.
as we know that 1atm is equal to 760 torr therefore =622/760 =0.8184 atm.
1 mmHg = 133.3 Pa you can multiply both sides by 760.
Blood pressure is the blood flow when the heart is pumping (top number) and when the heart is resting (bottom number). The body is a closed system and requires enough blood pressure to pump the blood throughout the body. A typically healthy blood pressure would be 120mmHg/70mmHg. Atmospheric pressure is the weight of the atmosphere at a specific location and altitude. At sea level, atmospheric pressure is 760mmHg. So actually, atmospheric pressure is much greater than blood pressure. Most people never have to worry about atmospheric pressure affecting blood pressure. However, deep sea divers experience an increase in blood pressure while diving, and astronauts experience a decrease in blood pressure when in space.
