What is the SI unit of pressure?
Bar
Atmosphere
Pascal
Torr
The SI unit for pressure is the Pascal. The other units are commonly used in various contexts but are not the standard SI unit.
1 atmosphere (atm) is exactly equal to how many pascals (Pa)?
100000 Pa
101325 Pa
105000 Pa
98000 Pa
By definition, 1 atm is equivalent to 101325 Pa. This standard conversion is used frequently in pressure-related problems.
How many pascals are in 1 kilopascal (kPa)?
10,000 Pa
1000 Pa
10 Pa
100 Pa
1 kilopascal (kPa) is equal to 1000 pascals (Pa), making it a simple and fundamental conversion in pressure calculations.
How many millimeters of mercury (mmHg) are equivalent to 1 atmosphere (atm)?
760 mmHg
500 mmHg
800 mmHg
1013 mmHg
Standard atmospheric pressure is defined as 760 mmHg. This conversion value is commonly referenced in physics and chemistry.
1 bar is defined as how many pascals (Pa)?
98066 Pa
101325 Pa
95000 Pa
100,000 Pa
1 bar is exactly equal to 100,000 pascals. This unit is often used in meteorology and engineering applications.
Convert 2 atmospheres (atm) to kilopascals (kPa).
200 kPa
101.33 kPa
405.3 kPa
202.65 kPa
Since 1 atm is approximately 101.325 kPa, doubling that value yields about 202.65 kPa. This conversion is essential for solving pressure-related problems.
What is the pressure in pounds per square inch (psi) corresponding to 1 atmosphere (atm)?
14.7 psi
101.3 psi
1 psi
10 psi
1 atmosphere is approximately equal to 14.7 psi. This conversion factor is widely used in many engineering and physics contexts.
How many pascals (Pa) are there in 0.5 bar?
50,000 Pa
101,325 Pa
5,000 Pa
10,000 Pa
Since 1 bar equals 100,000 Pa, multiplying by 0.5 gives 50,000 Pa. This conversion is a straightforward multiplication task.
Convert 760 torr to pascals (Pa).
133322 Pa
76000 Pa
101325 Pa
50000 Pa
Multiplying 760 torr by the conversion factor of approximately 133.322 Pa per torr gives roughly 101325 Pa, which corresponds to standard atmospheric pressure.
Which conversion factor correctly relates kilopascals (kPa) to pascals (Pa)?
1 kPa = 1000 Pa
1 kPa = 100 Pa
1 kPa = 10 Pa
1 kPa = 0.001 Pa
The correct conversion is that 1 kPa equals 1000 Pa. This factor is a fundamental basis for converting between these units.
Convert 50 mmHg to kilopascals (kPa).
66.7 kPa
133.32 kPa
6.67 kPa
0.667 kPa
Multiplying 50 mmHg by 133.322 Pa per mmHg gives approximately 6666 Pa, which is about 6.67 kPa after converting to kilopascals. This conversion is typical in many physics problems.
If a pressure is measured as 2.5 bar, what is its approximate equivalent in atmospheres (atm)?
2.00 atm
3.00 atm
2.50 atm
2.47 atm
Using the conversion factor where 1 bar is approximately 0.98692 atm, 2.5 bar converts to roughly 2.47 atm. This is determined by multiplying 2.5 by the conversion factor.
Convert 0.2 atmospheres (atm) to torr.
304 torr
152 torr
76 torr
1520 torr
Since 1 atm is equivalent to 760 torr, multiplying 0.2 by 760 results in 152 torr. This is a direct application of the conversion factor.
What is the result of converting 101.325 kPa to atmospheres (atm)?
10 atm
0.1 atm
1 atm
1013 atm
101.325 kPa is exactly equivalent to 1 atm because 101325 Pa is defined as 1 atm. This reinforces the direct relationship between these units.
If a tire's pressure is 220 kPa, what is its pressure in bars?
2.2 bar
0.22 bar
1.22 bar
22 bar
To convert 220 kPa to bars, first convert to pascals (220,000 Pa) and then divide by 100,000 Pa per bar, yielding 2.2 bar. This method highlights the step-by-step conversion process.
A pressure reading is 500 mmHg. What is the approximate pressure in atmospheres (atm)?
0.76 atm
1.52 atm
0.66 atm
0.50 atm
Dividing 500 mmHg by the standard atmospheric pressure of 760 mmHg results in approximately 0.66 atm. This is a straightforward conversion between mmHg and atmospheres.
Which of the following values does NOT represent a pressure equivalent to 1 atmosphere (atm)?
101325 kPa
14.7 psi
760 torr
101325 Pa
101325 Pa, 760 torr, and 14.7 psi all represent values that are approximately equal to 1 atm. However, 101325 kPa represents a pressure that is 1000 times larger than 1 atm, making it incorrect.
Why is dimensional analysis important when converting pressure units?
It changes the nature of the physical quantity
It helps cancel out units and verifies the correctness of the conversion
It is only necessary for converting temperature
It increases the numerical value of measurements
Dimensional analysis ensures that the units cancel properly during conversion, yielding the correct dimensional outcome. This method is critical in verifying that conversion calculations are accurate.
How many pascals (Pa) are in 1 torr?
76 Pa
133.322 Pa
1333.22 Pa
101325 Pa
By definition, 1 torr is approximately equal to 133.322 pascals. This conversion factor is standard and widely used in pressure calculations.
A gauge displays tire pressure at 32 psi. What is the approximate pressure in kilopascals (kPa)?
14.7 kPa
101.3 kPa
32 kPa
220.6 kPa
Using the conversion where 1 atm equals 14.7 psi (and 101.325 kPa), converting 32 psi results in approximately 220.6 kPa. This multi-step conversion requires careful handling of the units.
