Question

How do you convert 100 mm Hg to Pa?

Answer 1

Step 1: Given data

Pressure is $100mmHg$

Step 2: Formula Used

Pressure is defined as the force that is exerted on a unit area of liquids. mm Hg and Pascal (pa) both are units of Pressure, such that, $1mmHg=133.3224pa$.

Step 3: Solution

To convert 100 mm Hg to Pa, multiply 100mm on both sides of the above conversion formula.

$$\begin{gathered} 100\times 1mmHg=133.3224\times 100pa \\ 100mmHg=13332.24pa \\ 100mmHg\approx 1.3\times {10}^{4}pa \end{gathered}$$

Hence, $100mmHg\approx 1.3\times {10}^{4}pa$.
