The highest sustained pressure achieved in the laboratory is 1.5 * 107 kilopascals, kpa. what is this pressure in atm, mmhg, and torr?

1.5 * 10⁷ kPa = 148038.5 atm = 1.12 x 10⁸ mmHg = 1.12 x 10⁸ torr.

Explanation:

To convert from kPa to atm:

Knowing that:

1 atm = 101.325 kPa.

? atm = 1.5 * 10⁷ kPa.

Using cross multiplication:

∴ 1.5 * 10⁷ kPa = (1 atm) (1.5 * 10⁷ kPa) / (101.325 kPa) = 148038.5 atm,

To convert from kPa to mmHg:

Knowing that:

1.0 kPa = 7.5 mmHg.

1.5 * 10⁷ kPa = ? mmHg.

Using cross multiplication:

∴ 1.5 * 10⁷ kPa = (7.5 mmHg) (1.5 * 10⁷ kPa) / (1.0 kPa) = 1.12 x 10⁸ mmHg.

To convert from kPa to torr:

Knowing that:

1.0 kPa = 7.5 torr.

1.5 * 10⁷ kPa = ? torr.

Using cross multiplication:

∴ 1.5 * 10⁷ kPa = (7.5 torr) (1.5 * 10⁷ kPa) / (1.0 kPa) = 1.12 x 10⁸ torr.
