Question

An oxygen tank contains oxygen $\left(O_2\right)$at a pressure of $2.00$ atm. What is the pressure in the tank in terms of the following units?
a. torr

b. mmHg

Short answer

Part(a) The pressure in the tank is $1520torr$

Part(b) The pressure in the tank is $1520mmHg$

Step-by-step solution

Part(a) Step 1 : Given information

We are given that an oxygen tank contains oxygen $\left(O_2\right)$at a pressure of $2.00$ atm . We have to find pressure in torr.

Part(a) Step 2 : Simplify

As we know $1atm=760torr$

Therefore, $2atm=2\times 760=1520torr$

Part(a) Step 1 : Given information

We are given that an oxygen tank contains oxygen at a pressure of $2.00$ atm . We have to find pressure in mmHg.

Part(b) Step 2 : Simplify

As we know, $1atm=760mmHg$

Therefore, $2atm=2\times 760=1520mmHg$
