You can put this solution on YOUR website!
your problem:
A pressure of 0.595 atm = ______Torr =_____mmHg.
-----
this website has all the information you need.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torr
check it out if you have time.
-----
from that website:
1 atm = 760 torr
1 atm = 101325 Pa
1 mmHg = 13.5951*9.80665 Pa
-----
derived from those formulas in the website:
1 Pa = (1/101325) atm
1 Pa = (1/(13.5951*9.80665)) mmHq
-----
answer to your question:
.595 atm = (.595 * 760) torr
.595 atm = (.595 * 101325) Pa = ((.595*101325) / (13.5951*9.80665)) mmHg
-----
numbers come out to be:
.595 atm = 452.2 torr
.595 atm = 452.1999356 mmHg
-----
1 torr is very close to 1 mmHg as it should be based on the definitions from that website.
