Question

A bag of potato chips is sealed in a factory near seal level. The atmospheric pressure at the factory is 761.3 mm Hg. The pressure inside the bag is the same. What is the pressure inside the bag of potato chip in kPa? kPa (ROUND TO THE NEAREST WHOLE NUMBER WHEN TYPING YOUR ANSWER.)

Answer 1

To convert the pressure inside the bag from mm Hg to kPa, we can use the conversion factor:

1 kPa = 7.5 mm Hg

So, we can divide the pressure in mm Hg by 7.5:

761.3 mm Hg / 7.5 = 101.5 kPa

So, the pressure inside the bag of potato chips is approximately 101.5 kPa.

It is important to note that the conversion factor of 1 kPa = 7.5 mm Hg, is an approximation and it can vary depending on the temperature and altitude.

Therefore, the pressure inside the bag of potato chip in kPa is 101 kPa (rounded to the nearest whole number)
