Question:

Low-pressure gauges in research laboratories are occasionally calibrated in inches of water (inH2O). Given that the density of mercury at 15°C is 13.6 g · cm–3 and the density of water at that temperature is 1.0 g · cm–3, what is the pressure (in Torr) inside a gas cylinder that reads 8.9 inH2O at 15°C?
