0.4613 atm

To convert 350.8torr to atm, we will use the conversion rate.

$1\text{atm=}760\text{torr}$

We are to convert 350.8 torr to atm, we can express this as:

x is the pressure in units of atm

Divide both equations to have:

$\begin{gathered} (1)/(x)=(760)/(350.6) \\ 760x=350.6 \\ x=(350.6)/(760) \\ x=0.4613\text{atm} \end{gathered}$

Hence the pressure of the gas in units of atm is 0.4613 atm
