Given: 

1.6320 atm

Convert to mmHg

atm stands for atmospheric pressure, and it is considered to be the standard measurement for pressure.

mmHg means millimeters of mercury, which is used to measure the pressure in blood vessels

1 atm = 760 mmHg
 

Solution:

Since we know that 1 atm is equal to 760 mmHg, we can simply multiply the given atm by 760.

= (1.6320 atm)(760 mmHg/1 atm)

The unit atm cancels, leaving behind mmHg.

= 1,240.32 mmHg

1,6320 atm is equal to 1,240.32 mmHg
