Answer :
Final answer:
To convert 1.30 atm to kPa, multiply by the conversion factor of 101.325 kPa per 1 atm, which equals approximately 132 kPa. Thus, the correct answer is 132 kPa.
Explanation:
To convert the pressure of 1.30 atm to kilopascals (kPa), we use the conversion factor between atmospheres and kilopascals. Since 1 atm is equivalent to 101.325 kPa, we can set up the conversion as follows:
1.30 atm × (101.325 kPa / 1 atm) = 131.7225 kPa
When rounded to the proper number of significant figures (which the provided options suggest), this gives us a result of 132 kPa. Therefore, the correct answer is (c) 132 kPa.
