The typical pressure of carbon dioxide in an unopened soda can is 3.45 atm. Calculate the typical pressure in kPa . Be sure your answer has the right number of significant digits.

Respuesta :

Answer : The typical pressure in kPa is, 3.49 × 10² kPa

Explanation :

The conversion used for pressure from 'atm' to 'kPa' is:

1 atm = 101.325 kPa

As we are given that, pressure of carbon dioxide in an unopened soda can is 3.45 atm. Now we have to convert it into 'kPa'.

As, 1 atm = 101.325 kPa

So, 3.45 atm = [tex]\frac{3.45atm}{1atm}\times 101.325kPa[/tex]

                     = 349.57125 kPa

                     ≈ 3.49 × 10² kPa

Thus, the typical pressure in kPa is, 3.49 × 10² kPa
