How to Convert Pressure Reading from Torr to Atmospheres
What is the conversion factor between torr and atmospheres?
Given: 1 atm = 760 torr
How would you convert a pressure reading of 565 torr to units of atmospheres?
Conversion Factor and Calculation:
1 atm = 760 torr
To convert from torr to atm, you can use the conversion factor:
1 atm = 760 torr
Given pressure reading: 565 torr
Use the formula: Pressure in atmospheres = Pressure in torr ÷ 760
Therefore, the pressure reading of 565 torr in units of atmospheres is:
Calculation:
565 torr ÷ 760 = 0.743 atm
Therefore, the pressure reading of 565 torr is equivalent to 0.743 atmospheres.
