Pressure (Zumdahl Ch. 13.1)

What is pressure?





P = F/A


Where F= force A = Area

(example stepping on your foot with spike shoes or flat shoes which exerts more pressure? Why?)


Pressure of a gas depends on:
Symbol

Units



Temperature of the gas



Volume of the container



Number of molecules



Atmospheric pressure results from the mass of the air being pulled toward the center of the earth by gravity.
Varies with altitude. A device that measures the atmospheric pressure is the barometer.


What happens when the air pressure is high?






Air pressure is one of the most important
factors that determine what the weather will be like.

Monometer: a device for measuring the pressure of a gas in a container. The pressure of the gas is equal to h (the
difference in mercury levels) in units of mmHg

Units of Pressure
In S.I. units, pressure is measured in pascals (Pa)
Standard Atmospheric Pressure = 1 atmosphere

= 101.3 kPa

= 760 mm Hg or torr

Gas Conversions
Convert: 72.9cm Hg to kilopascals and atmospheres:

(a)
to kilopascals
72.9 cm Hg x 10 = 729 mm Hg


729 mm Hg x 101.3 kPa = 97.2 kPa



760 mm Hg

(b)
to atm

97.2 kPa
x 1 atm = 0.960 atm

101.3 kPa

eg) Yesterday, the atmospheric pressure was 103.55kPa. Convert this to mmHg and to atm.
