During the Viking landings on Mars, the atmospheric pressure was determined to be on the average about 6.50 millibars (1 bar = 0.987 atm). What is that pressure in torr and kPa?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The pressure is equal to 4.87 torr and 0.649 kPa.

Explanation:

The atmospheric pressure was determined to be on the average about 6.50 millibars.

As 1 bar = 0.987 atm

6.5 mbar = 0.0065 bar

So,

0.0065 bar = (0.0065×0.987 ) atm

= 0.0064155  atm

Since, 1 atm = 760 torr

So, 0.0064155  atm = 4.87 torr

Since, 1 torr = 133.322 Pa

4.87 torr = 649.27 pa

or

4.87 torr = 0.649 kPa

Hence, the required pressure is equal to 4.87 torr and 0.649 kPa.
