    Chemistry P Worksheet 8-1: Pressure

    Worksheet
    8-1 Pressure
    Pressure is defined as the force applied divided by the area over which it is applied. A gas
    pressure results from the many collisions between gas particles and a surface. The SI unit of
    pressure is the newton per square meter (N/m2) called the pascal (Pa). A pascal is very small so it
    is often reported in thousands of pascals or kilopascals (kPa). The atmosphere surrounding the
    earth exert a pressure of approximately 1 atmosphere (atm) at sea level. There are other units
    used to measure pressure shown in the table below.

    Force Useful Conversions


    Pressure =
    Area 1 atm  760 mmHg
    1 torr  1 mmHg
    𝐹
    𝑃= 1.000 00 atm = 14.695 9 psi = 101 325 Pa
    𝐴 1 in  25.4 mm

    Example 1: A container of gas has a pressure of 104.9 kPa. Convert this pressure to psi.

    104.9 kPa 1×103 Pa 14.696 psi


    × × = 15.21 psi
    1 1 kPa 101 325 Pa

    Example 2: Barometric pressure is reported as 30.1 inHg. Convert this to torr.

    30.1 inHg 25.4 mmHg 1 torr


    × × = 764.5 torr
    1 1 inHg 1 mmHg

    Use the conversion factors in the table to solve the following problems.

    1. The pressure is recorded as 738 mmHg. Convert this measurement to atmospheres (atm).
    2. A ball is inflated to a pressure of 32.0 pounds per square inch (psi). Convert this pressure to
    atmospheres (atm).
    3. What is the pressure in pascals if the pressure is equal to 380 torr?
    4. The air pressure in a tire is 2.38 atm. What is this pressure in kilopascals?
    5. The atmosphere supports a column of mercury that is 748 mm in height. What is
    atmospheric pressure in torr? Convert this pressure to atmospheres (atm).
    6. Many pneumatic tools operate at an air pressure of 90 psi. What is the equivalent pressure
    in kilopascals (kPa)?
    7. The safety disk in a scuba tank will blow at a pressure of approximately 25 000 kPa.
    Convert this pressure to mmHg.
    8. When a brake pedal is pressed with a pressure of 100 psi the pressure is converted about
    1200 psi in the master cylinder. What is the pressure of the master cylinder in torr?
    9. Normal atmospheric pressure in Mexico City is about 565 mmHg. Convert this to
    atmospheres.
    10. If the gas in a container can support 74 inHg, what is the gas pressure in pascals?
