If the atmospheric pressure on the top of a mountain is 0.2396 atm, what is the pressure in kilopascal (kPa)?

Verified Answer :

the answer is 24.28 kPa

Answer: 24.28 kPa

Explanation:

Atmospheric pressure is the pressure exerted by the earth's atmosphere at any given point. Pressure is force acting per unit area. It is measured in atmosphere or pascal.

\(Pressure=\frac{force}{area}\)

\(1 atm=101.325kPa\)

\(0.2396 atm=\frac{101.325kPa}{1}\times {0.2396}=24.28kPa\)
