PRESSURE UNIT CONVERSIONS WORKSHEET
1 atm = 760 mm Hg = 101325 Pa = 14.7 lb/in2 = 1.013 bar
1. The air pressure for a certain tire is 109 kPa. What is this pressure in
atmospheres? (Answer: 1.08 atm).
2. The air pressure inside a submarine is 0.62 atm. What would be the height of
a column of mercury balanced by this pressure? (Answer: 470 mm Hg).
3. The weather news gives the atmospheric pressure as 1.07 atm. What is this
atmospheric pressure in mm Hg? (Answer: 813 mm Hg).
4. An experiment at Sandia National Labs in New Mexico is performed at 758.7
mm Hg. What is this pressure in atm? (Answer: 0.998 atm).
5. A bag of potato chips is sealed in a factory near sea level. The atmospheric
pressure at the factory is 761.3 mm Hg. The pressure inside the bag is the
same. What is the pressure inside the bag of potato chips in Pa? (Answer:
1.01 x 105 Pa).
6. The same bag of potato chips from problem 5 is shipped to Denver, Colorado,
where the atmospheric pressure is 99.82 kPa. What is the difference (in Pa)
between the pressure in the bag and the atmospheric pressure? (Answer:
1200 Pa).
