the force is acted.
• Pascal (Pa)
PRESSURE
• For gases, the pressure
arises from the
collision between gas
molecules and the
surface to which the
molecules come in
contact to.
BAROMETE
R

used in measuring gas
pressure.

THE STANDARD
ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE
• It is the value corresponds to the
pressure exerted by the atmosphere.
• 1 atm = 760 mm Hg
• The unit mmHg is called torr.
OTHER UNITS OF PRESSURE
• pascal (Pa)
• bar
• inches of mercury
• pound-force per square inch (psi)
