Convert 380 torr to atm?

Step 1: Identify the Conversion Factor
The conversion factor between torr and atm is 1 atm = 760 torr. This means that one atmosphere of pressure is equivalent to 760 torr of pressure.

Step 2: Set Up the Conversion Equation
To convert 380 torr to atm, we set up the conversion equation using the conversion factor. The equation is:

(atm) = (torr) / 760

Step 3: Substitute the Given Value into the Equation
Substitute 380 torr into the equation:

(atm) = 380 / 760

Step 4: Solve the Equation
Solve the equation to find the pressure in atm:

(atm) = 0.5

So, 380 torr is equivalent to 0.5 atm.

In conclusion, when converting pressure measurements, it's crucial to understand the conversion factor between the units. In this case, knowing that 1 atm is equivalent to 760 torr allowed us to convert 380 torr to 0.5 atm.
