Question 15 • LA-Chemistry A

Which units of pressure are equivalent and require no conversion of the value?

Answer
A
mmHg and atm
B
kPa and Pa
C
mmHg and torr
D
atm and kPa

Explanation

Millimeters of mercury and torr are equivalent pressure units: 1 mmHg is approximately 1 torr, so the numerical value does not need to change. By contrast, kilopascals and pascals differ by a factor of 1,000, and atmospheres do not have the same numerical values as either unit.
