The pressure of a gas in the container is 152 mm hg.
Now to convert this pressure of gas from 'mm hg' to 'atm', we need to follow the given conversion:
As we know that,
1 millimeter of mercury = 0.00131 atmospheric pressure
Since we know the value of 1 mm of hg = 0.00131 atm. So, 152 millimeter of mercury should be equal to:
[tex]152 \times 0.00131=0.19912[/tex]
So, the pressure of the gas in the container is 0.19912 atmospheric pressure or 0.200 atm.
Answer: 0.200 atm
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we know that One atm = 760 millimeters Hg
Then, [tex]\text{1 mm Hg}=\dfrac{1}{760}\text{ atm}[/tex]
Now, [tex]\text{152 mm Hg}=\dfrac{152}{760}\text{ atm}[/tex]
[tex]\text{1 mm Hg}=0.2\text{ atm}[/tex]
Hence, the complete statement will be : The pressure of a gas in a container is 152 mm hg. This is equivalent to 0.200 atm .
