What is the relationship between the units atmosphere and mmHg?

they are both describing air pressure. One standard atmosphere is about equal to 760 mmHg. The origin of mmHg was from measuring the atmospheric pressure using Mercury, a heavy liquid metal. You can replace mercury with any non-volatile liquid, such as water. But you will need a lot more water to get the same answer; the density of mercury to that of water is 13.5 : 1, so 0.76 mHg will have to be replaced by 10.3 mH2O. You need a column of water of about 10.3 m high for measurement --how inconvenient.

What is the pressure of 0.520 ATM equal to in mm HG?
395.2 mmHGSimply put.1 ATM = 760 mmHG (Torr)0.520 * 760 = 395.2 mmHG
What is a pressure of 8.00 ATM equal to in mm Hg?
1 atm = 760 mmHg its a proportion soo... 1atm -> 8.00 atm (multiplied it by 8) 760Hg -> ? (multiply by 8 like above) 6080 mmHg
How do you use tocodynamometer?
You search for the uterine fundus, and stabilize the transducer on it, then press the zero button on the CTG when there is no contraction at all for zeroing, to set the baseline of the transducer to the uterine tone (which is between 5 and 15 mmhg).
What pressure is argon at room temperature?
The given information is not sufficient to answer this question. You can use the Ideal Gas Law to find out though, expressed mathematically as: PV=nRT Where: P=Pressure (in mmHg) V=Volume (in Liters) n=number of moles of gas R=62.36367 L·mmHg·K−1·mol−1 (Ignore the jargon at the end just know that solving the equation for P will give an answer in the unit mmHg,) T= Temperature (in Kelvin) (room temperature in Kelivin is 293 K) You would already need to know V and n to begin with in order to be able to do this equation, however for the sake of example (exactly) one liter and .0094 mole of Argon would be: P(1)=(.0094)(62.36367)(293) P= 170 mmHg One mole or 39.948 grams of Argon would be at a pressure of P(1)=(1)(62.36367)(293) P= 18300 mmHg which is 24 times the pressure of Earth's atmosphere.
At sea level what is the normal partial pressure of oxygen in the systemic veins?
40 mmHg
What are the units OF osmotic pressure?
atm (atmosphere) or millimeters of mercury (mmHg)
How many mmHg's is equal to 1 ATM in science?
One atmosphere (ATM or torr) is equal to 760 millimeters of mercury (mmHg's)
How many atmosphere are there in 1000 mmHg using 1 atm is equal to 760 mmHg is 760 torr?
The answer is in the question itself:760 mmHg (= 760/760 ) = 1.00 atm , so1000 mmHg = 1000/760 = 1.32 atm
What are the units for rate pressure product?
pascal
Will measured a gas at 30 degrees Celsius and 752.0 mmHg what would his measurements be if expressed in kelvin and atmospheres?
30 degrees Celsius = 303,15 K752 mmHg = 0,9894737 atmosphere
What is the normal value of PaO2?
Arterial values should be between 85 and 100 mmHg, Venous values should be between 30 and 40 mmHg.
The pressure of a gas in a container is 152 mm Hg. what is itequivalent to?
This is equivalent to 0.2 atm. (152 mmHg)*(1 atm)/(760 mmHg)=0.2atm
When or where would you use to express a typical air pressure in value of atmospheres ATM Kilo-pascals KPA Millimeters of mercury mmHg?
It depends on the place where you are working. At the weather forecast in Europe it would possibly be 101.325 kPa for "one standard atmosphere". The following non-standard units are equivalent: 760 mmHg (torr), 29.92 inHg or 14.696 PSI.
What is the unit used for measurement for atmosphere pressure?
These units are used:- pascal (Pa), the SI unit- millimetre of mercury- torr- millibar1 Pa = 1 N/m2 = 133,3224 mmHg = 7,506.10e-3 torr = 0,01 millibar
What are the units used to measure preassure?
Blood pressure is usually expressed in terms of millimeters of mercury (mmHg).
Convert 2.1 ATM to mmHg?
1 standard atmosphere is 760 millimeter of mercury. 2.25 ATM is 1710 mmHg.
How do you convert 190 mm Hg to kilopascals?
A common unit of pressure is the atmosphere, which is equivalent to 760mmHg and 101.3kPa. Thus, to convert a value from mmHg to kPa, we must divide by 760 mmHg/ATM and multiply by 101.3 kPa/ATM. In this case: 190 mmHg * (1 ATM / 760 mmHg) * (101.3 kPa / 1 ATM) = 25.3 kPa. This method of units conversion is called dimensional analysis, whereby a value is multiplied by several conversion factors, canceling out the original unit in order to achieve the desired unit.
