How to Convert 0.5 atm to mmHg

To convert a pressure measurement of 0.5 atmospheres (atm) to millimeters of mercury (mmHg), you can use the conversion factor that one atmosphere is equal to 760 mmHg.

Here is the conversion formula:
pressure (mmHg) = pressure (atm) x 760 mmHg/atm

To use this formula, substitute the value you want to convert (0.5 atm in this case) for the pressure in atm.

Here is the calculation to convert 0.5 atm to mmHg:
pressure (mmHg) = 0.5 atm x 760 mmHg/atm pressure (mmHg) = 380 mmHg

So 0.5 atm is equal to 380 mmHg.

It's important to note that this conversion is only valid for pressures at a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit). At other temperatures, the conversion factor will be different.
