'The atmospheric pressure at sea level is 101 kPa: If at an elevation 10,000 ft above sea level atmospheric pressure measures 74 kPa_ At what elevation (meters) does the pressure become 21 kPa?'
Added by Victoria R.
Step 1
Given: Pressure at sea level (p1) = 101 kPa Pressure at 10,000 ft above sea level (p2) = 74 kPa Change in pressure = p2 - p1 Change in pressure = 74 - 101 Change in pressure = -27 kPa Show more…

In the figure below, if a sample of gas at sea level were moved to an elevation at which the pressure changed to 75 kPa, what would be the new elevation of the sample? Altitude (km) (sea level) 0 Pressure (kPa) 2.8 km 5.5 km 7.0 km 9.0 km

At an ocean depth of 76.2 m, the pressure is about 8.4 atm. Convert the pressure to mm Hg and kPa units.
The deepest point in the ocean is $11 \mathrm{km}$ below sea level, deeper than Mt. Everest is tall. What is the pressure in atmospheres at this depth?
