The atmospheric pressure on a mountain is 550 mmHg and 1 atm is equal to 760 mmHg. What is the pressure in atm? Give your answer to 2 significant figures760 mmHg what is the pressure in atm?

Respuesta :

Answer:

0.72 atm

Explanation:

Given that the atmospheric pressure on a mountain is 550 mmHg.

Where 1 atm is equal to 760 mmHg.

To Convert millimetre mercury (mmHg) into atmospheric pressure units (atm) , divide the magnitude of pressure by 760. That is,

Pressure = 550/760

Pressure = 0.724 atm

Therefore, pressure in atm is 0.72 atm in two significant figures
