What is torrs?

A torr is a unit of measurement for pressure. The unit is named after an Italian scientist named Evangelista Torricelli (1608-1647) who was a student of Galileo and invented the barometer. 1 torr = 1mm Hg (one millimeter mercury) 760 torr = 1 ATM (atmospheres) 760 torr = 14.7 lb/in^2


One torr is equal to?

1 Torr = 0.00133322 bar 1 Torr = 133.322 Pa 1 Torr = 0.00131578584 ATM 1 Torr = 1 mmHg


What is the partial pressure of N2 and O2 having a total pressure of 1075 torr if the partial pressure of 02 is 720 torr?

1075 torr - 720 torr = 355 torr


How you convert 760torr into 101325 pascal?

To convert 760 torr to pascals, you can use the fact that 1 torr is equal to 133.322 pascals. Therefore, you multiply 760 torr by 133.322 pascals/torr: 760 torr × 133.322 pascals/torr = 101325 pascals. Thus, 760 torr is equivalent to 101325 pascals.


What is the correct perssure in ATM pressure if the air is 742 torr?
