Question

A pressure of 228 cm Hg is equivalent to "x" atmosphere.The value of "x" is what??

Answer 1

Concept introduction:

The standard unit of measurement known as one atmosphere (atm) corresponds to the average atmospheric pressure at sea level and $15$ degrees Celsius ($59$ degrees Fahrenheit). $1,013$ millibars, or $760$ millimeters ($29.92$ inches) of mercury, make up one atmosphere.

Explanation:

Given that, pressure of $228 cm Hg$ is equivalent to "x" atmosphere.

We have to find, the value of x

According to the question,

$76cmHg = 1 atm$

⇒$1cmHg = 1/76 atm$

∴ $228cmHg=228/76=3atm$

Final Answer:

Value of x is $3$ atmospheric pressure.
