Answer

(a) $2.21\times 10^5~Pa$ (b) $1650~torr$ (c) $2.18~atm$

Work Step by Step

(a) We can convert $32~lb/in^2$ to units of Pa: $32~lb/in^2 \times \frac{6895~Pa}{1~lb/in^2} = 2.21\times 10^5~Pa$ (b) We can convert $32~lb/in^2$ to units of torr: $32~lb/in^2 \times \frac{51.7~torr}{1~lb/in^2} = 1650~torr$ (c) We can convert $32~lb/in^2$ to units of atm: $32~lb/in^2 \times \frac{1~atm}{14.7~lb/in^2} = 2.18~atm$
