Question

798 torr is equal to how many kPa?

Answer 1

I recall the conversions:

`"760 torr = 1 atm"` (1)

`"1 atm = 101.325 kPa"` (2)

So:

`"798" cancel"torr" xx cancel"1 atm"/("760" cancel"torr") xx "101.325 kPa"/cancel"1 atm"`

`color(blue)("= 106.391 kPa")`

which makes sense when you compare to `"760 torr"`; by connecting conversion factor (1) and (2), `"760 torr = 101.325 kPa"`. Thus, you can also say that:

`"798 torr"/"760 torr" = (x " kPa")/"101.325 kPa"`

`("798" cancel"torr")/("760" cancel"torr") xx "101.325 kPa" = "106.391 kPa"`
