Convert 3.52 atm to kPa.

A. 356.58 kPa
B. 28.78 kPa
C. 0.035 kPa
D. 52.48 kPa

Answer :

To convert 3.52 atm to kPa, we use a conversion factor that relates atmospheres (atm) to kilopascals (kPa). The conversion factor is that 1 atm is equal to 101.325 kPa.

Here are the steps to find the conversion:

1. Identify the conversion factor:
- 1 atm = 101.325 kPa

2. Multiply the given pressure in atm by the conversion factor to convert to kPa:
- [tex]\( 3.52 \, \text{atm} \times 101.325 \, \frac{\text{kPa}}{\text{atm}} = 356.664 \, \text{kPa} \)[/tex]

3. Compare the calculated answer to the given options:
- (A) 356.58 kPa
- (B) 28.78 kPa
- (C) 0.035 kPa
- (D) 52.48 kPa

The calculated value, 356.664 kPa, is closest to option (A) 356.58 kPa. Therefore, the correct answer is:

(A) 356.58 kPa
