Understanding the Conversion
* Standard Pressure: Standard atmospheric pressure is defined as 760 mmHg.
* Conversion Factor: 1 atm = 760 mmHg
Calculation
1. Set up a ratio: (715 mmHg) / (760 mmHg/atm)
2. Cancel out the mmHg units: This leaves you with just atmospheres (atm).
3. Calculate the result: 715 / 760 = 0.941 atm (approximately)
Answer: The pressure of 715 mmHg corresponds to approximately 0.941 atmospheres.
