How many millimeters of mercury is 2.64 atmospheres equivalent to?

2.01 x 10^3 mm Hg
3.47 x 10^−3 mm Hg
2.88 x 10^2 mm Hg
2.64 mm Hg

Answer 1

Solve for x: \(\sf 1 ~atm=760~mm~Hg\)
\(\sf 2.64~atm=x~~mm~Hg\)

Answer 2

how do you do that?

Answer 3

Cross multiply them. \(\sf 1\times x =760 \times 2.64 \Longrightarrow x \approx2.01\times 10^3~mm~Hg\)
