The pressure caused by a sample of gas is 2.25 atm. 1 atm is equal to 1.01 kPa.

What is the pressure in Newton per square centimeter?

Answer :

Answer:

[tex]0.326\frac{N}{cm^2}[/tex]

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, considering that 1 atm equals 1.01 kPa, we can compute the pressure in kPa first as shown below:

[tex]2.25atm*\frac{1.01kPa}{1atm} =3.26kPa[/tex]

Now, we convert kPa to Pa, considering 1 kPa equals 1000 Pa:

[tex]3.26kPa*\frac{1000Pa}{1kPa}=3260Pa[/tex]

Now, since Pa is equal to N/m², and 1 m equals 100 cm, the pressure in newton per square centimeter turns out:

[tex]3260\frac{N}{m^2}*(\frac{1m}{100cm})^2 \\\\0.326\frac{N}{cm^2}[/tex]

Best regards.
