The atmospheric pressure at the summit of MtMcKinley is 606 mm Hg on a certain day What is the pressure in ATM and in kPa?

The standard atmospheric pressure is 14.7 psi which is equal to 1014 millibars and 760 mm Hg. Therefore 606 mm Hg = 606/760 of an atmosphere = 0.797 atm. Therefore in millibars it is 0.797 x 1014 = 808.5 mb. Now 1 mb = 100 Pa = 0.1 kPa, so 808.5 mb = 80.85 kPa.

What temperature does water condensed and turn into a gas?
This is not a cut and dry answer. The temperature that water evaporates to a gas and conversely condenses to a liquid is dependent on air pressure. Liquid boiling points can also be affected by impurities in the liquid, depending on the concentration of impurities. Thus in a pressure cooker water boils at a much higher temperature that it would under normal atmospheric pressure. This is also why you can't make a decent cup of tea on the summit of Everest because water boils at about 71 degrees Celsius at that reduced atmospheric pressure. So it is impossible to give a specific figure for this question.
Venue of the Energy Summit 2008?
Chennai, tamilnadu
What sort of energy has the cyclist gained when she reaches the summit?
Potential energy.
Do the particles of a gas get closer together or farther apart as the pressure on the gas increase?
Closer together. Your question is oddly phrased, but ends up in the same place. You might mean to ask, "Are the atoms or molecules of a gas closer to each other or farther apart if the gas is at higher pressure?" Or perhaps you are asking if the atoms or molecules in a compressed gas ("as the pressure on the gas increase (sic)") are closer or farther apart. It doesn't matter, really, because the atoms or molecules in a gas that is at increased pressure are closer together than if they were at lower pressure. Air is at lower pressure at high altitudes than at sea level. The molecules of nitrogen and oxygen are farther apart, which is why it's difficult to breathe while near the summit of a mountain.The answer depends on whether the increased pressure is due to reduced volume or increased temperature.When a gas is compressed, the particles are forced closer together. The temperature also rises.To increase the pressure in a volume of gas, you can do either of two things:Decrease the volume. The same number of gas particles have to share a smaller space, so they must be closer together. Pressure (and temperature) rises.Increase the temperature. The particles move faster and try to get further apart. Since the volume is unchanged, the pressure rises. The distance between the particles is unchanged.
What is the effect of an object's height on its potential energy?
The potential energy you mentioned is known as gravitational potential energy, which involves gravity. Gravity is a wonderful mechanism which acts like a rubberband. Let say the object is you riding a bicycle. To climb a hill, you need to input your kinetic energy which is to pedal hardly to increase your altitude(height). When you are at the top of the hill(summit), you have the greatest gravitational potential energy. What is the difference between you at the bottom of the hill and you at the top of the hill? The you at the summit has stored more energy in your mass, which can be converted only into kinetic energy when you roll down the hill.
How does the boiling point in mountains change?
The boiling point of water (or other liquids) depends on the pressure acting on it. As you increase the altitude, the atmospheric pressure decreases and as it does, the boiling point of the liquid decreases. The atmospheric pressure at the summit of Mount Everest is approx one thrid the pressure at sea level and so water boils at approx 71 deg C.
What place on the earth's surface has the lowest air pressure?
lol
What temperature does water go from a liquid to a gas?
It depends on other conditions, such as the pressure, and the purity of the water. However, at normal atmospheric pressure, pure water boils at 100oC. As an example of the importance of pressure, consider that it boils at just 65oC at the summit of Mt. Everest. This is why you can't get a decent cup of tea up there!
Is the air pressure at the summit or the base of a mountain?
base of a mountain

How do you get to Distoration world in Pokemon platinum?
After getting to a certain point of the game, go to the summit of Mt.Coronet.
Do you have to have a certain weight to climb mount Everest?
You do not have to be a certain weight to climb Mount Everest, however, if you are slim and fit you will have a better chance reaching the summit.
What is the air pressure on Mt Everest?
The air pressure on the summit of Mt Everest is about 30 kPa or 300 mbar. This is a third of the air pressure at sea level (1/3 of 1 atm).
How does the air pressure change between the bottom of the mountain and its summit?
It is pressed by the bottom of the earths crust and pressured up to the top of the mountain and the mountain begins to break. It takes about 500 years to break.
If a student measures the air pressure at the base of a high mountain and again at the summit where will the student get the highest reading?
at the base
Who does lots of stuff?
the person that has a bit of a summit but that summit is only a little summit and this little summit only costs 12p which is a summit
Mountain climbers that attempt to reach Mt. Everest typically have to adjust to the change in pressure when they venture from their base camp to the summit?
Yes
