Question

The pressure 15.0 m under water is 248 kPa.
What is this pressure in torr

Answer 1

1860 torr

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to convert from kPa to torr, we are going to use the following conversion factor:

• 1 kPa = 7.5 torr

Now we multiply 248 kPa with this factor so that the kPa units cancel each other and only the torr units remain:

• 248 kPa *
  `(7.5torr)/(1kPa)` = 1860 torr

This means that the answer is 1860 torr.
