The unit of measuring atmospheric pressure is called a "pascal" (Pa), which is equivalent to one newton of force applied over one square meter. Another common unit used is the "bar", where 1 bar is equal to 100,000 pascals.
It depends on the pressure. At standard atmospheric pressure (1 atm), elements such as Mercury and Bromine are liquid at 1000 degrees Celsius.
Yes, the melting point of a substance can change with altitude due to the variation in atmospheric pressure. As altitude increases, atmospheric pressure decreases, which can affect the boiling and melting points of substances. Generally, lower pressure at higher altitudes can result in lower melting points for many substances.
In general, barometric pressure, or atmospheric pressure, drops as you go up in elevation. For example, at 18,000 ft. above sea level, the average barometric pressure is about half the average pressure at sea level (see the related links for charts) However, barometric pressure also varies widely with the weather (weather charts almost always show the movement of low pressure and high pressure zones), so true barometric pressure cannot simply be calculated, but must be measured. In the United States, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration provides hourly barometric readings for many locations across the country (see related National Weather Service measurement link)
1 mole of any gas occupies 22.4 liters at standard temperature and pressure (STP). Therefore, 68.5 liters of oxygen gas at STP would be 68.5/22.4 = 3.06 moles of oxygen gas.
Earth's atmospheric pressure is measured as 1 bar. Jupiter's atmospheric pressure is 100 million bars. Therefore, it is 100 million times greater
A standard-sized SCUBA tank holds 72 cubic feet of air at the standard pressure of 2250 PSI.
One cubic meter always has 1000 liters, no matter what is inside. On the other hand, 6 bars is approximately 6 times the normal atmospheric pressure, so - according to the ideal gas law - the cubic meter of compressed air would be equivalent to 6 cubic meters of "normal" air.
1 ATM (atmosphere) is a unit of pressure, not volume, so it does not directly correspond to liters. However, at standard temperature and pressure (STP), 1 ATM is equivalent to 1.01325 x 10^5 pascals, which is the same as 101.325 kilopascals (kPa). At STP, 1 mole of any ideal gas occupies approximately 22.4 liters, regardless of the pressure.
If Earth's atmosphere contained twice as many molecules as it does today, the atmospheric pressure would also double. This is because pressure is directly related to the number of gas molecules in the atmosphere.

An E tank, commonly used in scuba diving, typically holds about 11.1 cubic feet (or 0.31 cubic meters) of compressed air, which includes approximately 21% oxygen. This translates to roughly 6.3 liters of pure oxygen. However, the exact amount can vary slightly based on the tank's specific pressure and fill level.
High atmospheric pressure generally suppresses the development of rain clouds. The earth has belts of high pressure, usually between latitudes of 25 - 35 degrees north or south, where many of the earth's deserts are located.
One liter of water, when converted to steam, occupies a much larger volume due to the differences in density between liquid water and steam. At standard atmospheric pressure, 1 liter of water can produce approximately 1,600 liters of steam. However, this volume can vary depending on temperature and pressure conditions. Therefore, the exact amount of steam that equals 1 liter of water is typically around 1,600 liters under normal conditions.
I am a scuba diver. To start SCUBA, you must pass training. Many training centers are available in many areas.
A barometer is a device for measuring atmospheric pressure - NOT distance or depth !
Average pressure at sea level is 1013.25 mbar
