How many atmospheres correspond to 1050 torr?

Correct answer: C. 1.380

  • A. 1.050
  • B. 10.38
  • C. 1.380
  • D. 2.760

Explanation

The torr is a unit of pressure defined as exactly 1/760 of a standard atmosphere. This means to find out the atm corresponding to torr we must divide it by 760. So, 1050/760 we get 1.38 atm.

About Standard Temperature and Pressure

Standard temperature and pressure provide reference conditions for gas calculations: 0°C or 273 K and, in the usual school convention, 1 atm pressure. Questions use these conditions to relate pressure, volume, temperature and amount of gas, including the molar volume of an ideal gas, about 22.4 dm³.
