<p>One question that I have gotten several times relates to pressure
units. Problems in your text often use 1 bar for pressure. This
is approximately atmospheric pressure - but not exactly
atmospheric pressure.</p>
<p>1 atm = 760 mmHg = 760 Torr = 101325 Pa = 1.01325 bar</p>
<p>so when the question says 1 bar, you should interpret that as
100000 Pa.</p>
<p>Keep the questions coming!<br>
