How many meters in a bar?

- The meter is a unit of length, the bar a unit of pressure.- If you think to the object bar the length is very variable


What is the correct unit for pressure?

Pascals, KiloPascals, inches of mercury (inHg), millimeters of mercury (mmHg), and pounds per square inch (PSI) are several common units of pressure. Some others are: Bar, Torr, Atmospheres.


The gases in a mixture have the following partial pressures at the same volume and temperature 1013000 Pa nitrogen 700 mmHg argon 1.20 ATM of helium 790 torr oxygen and 0.50 ATM of carbon dio?

Convert all the pressures into one unit and then, using Dalton's Law of Partial Pressure, you just add all the pressures together. Using these conversions(101325Pa equals 1 ATM, 1 ATM equals 760 mmHg, 1 mmHg equals 1 torr), calculate each pressure into one unit(I used mmHg) 1013000 Pa nitrogen equals 7598 mmHg of nitrogen(make sure you round using sig figs) 700 mmHg of argon equals 700 mmHg of argon 1.20 ATM of helium equals 912 mmHg of helium 790 torr oxygen equals 790 mmHg of oxygen 0.50 ATM of carbon dioxide equals 380 mmHg of Carbon Dioxide Now add all the pressures and you get: 7598+700+912+790+380= 10380 mmHg If you need to have the answer in a particular unit: 10380 mmHg = 10380 torr = 13.66 ATM = 1384000 Pa = 1,384 kPa


What is the unit used for measurement for atmosphere pressure?

These units are used:- pascal (Pa), the SI unit- millimetre of mercury- torr- millibar1 Pa = 1 N/m2 = 133,3224 mmHg = 7,506.10e-3 torr = 0,01 millibar


What are the three unit of pressure equal to atmospheric sea level?

A not-commonly-used measurement is 'atmosphere'. One atmosphere is the average pressure at sea-level: 101.325 kPa, 1013.25 mbar, 29.921 inches of mercury (inHg) or 760 millimeters of mercury (mmHg).

How do you convert 190 mm Hg to kilopascals?

A common unit of pressure is the atmosphere, which is equivalent to 760mmHg and 101.3kPa. Thus, to convert a value from mmHg to kPa, we must divide by 760 mmHg/ATM and multiply by 101.3 kPa/ATM. In this case: 190 mmHg * (1 ATM / 760 mmHg) * (101.3 kPa / 1 ATM) = 25.3 kPa. This method of units conversion is called dimensional analysis, whereby a value is multiplied by several conversion factors, canceling out the original unit in order to achieve the desired unit.


How do you convert degrees Celsius per mm Hg to just degrees Celsius?

You can't. Celsius per mmHg is a relationship of temperature to pressure. You can however solve for temperature if you have the value of pressure (e.g. if P= 10 mmHg and V/P = 2 ºC/mmHgthen V= (2 ºC/mmHg)(10 mmHg) = 20 ºC). If you have more information in the problem you might be referring to Gay-Lussac's Law, which compares two values of pressure and temperature to show the relationship (GL'sL: P1/T1 = P2/T2 ... but that would be pressure per unit volume). I'm not sure what you are looking for exactly, but you can't convert temp. to pressure (just like you can't convert feet to lbs.).

Explain how to convert 512ml into inches?

A millilitre is a unit of capacity. An inch is a unit of length. The two units are therefore incompatible.


What unit of measurement would you use to measure the air pressure?

The international standard unit for measuring pressure is the pascal. 1 pascal = 1 newton / square meter. A unit commonly used is the bar; 1 bar = 100,000 pascal; and that's the approximate air pressure at sea level. Older units that are still sometimes used include mmHg (millimeter mercury).


How do you change inches into millibars?

An inch is a unit of length. A millibar is a unit of pressure. The two units are therefore incompatible.


1 torr equals how many microns?

A torr is a unit of pressure; a micron is a unit of length. You can't convert that.
