The pressure of gas is measured at 550 mm Hg. How do you calculate this to Torr, lb/in2, atm, and in Hg? Please show conversions so that I can understand?
Thank you!
Thank you!

1 atm = 760 mm = 760 torr = 14.7 lbs/in^2
For example:
To change 550 mm to atm it is
550 mm x (1 atm/760 mm) = ? atm.
Note that the "fraction" (the conversion factor) is placed so that the unit you don't want to keep(mm) is canceled and the unit you want to convert to(atm) is kept.
