In the United States, barometric pressures are generally reported in inches of mercury (in. Hg). On a beautiful summer day in Chicago, the barometric pressure is 30.45 in. Hg. (a) Convert this pressure to torr. (b) Convert this pressure to atm.

A diagram for an open-tube manometer is shown below.

If the flask is open to the atmosphere, the mercury levels are equal. For each of the following situations where gas is contained in the flask, calculate the pressure in the flask in torr, atmospheres, and pascals. 

c. Calculate the pressure in the flask in parts a and b (in torr) if the atmospheric pressure is 635 torr.

I am having a real tough time with this homework problem. The question reads as such:The pressure of a weather system could be determined indirectly by observing the solubility of oxygen in water under the storm. Suppose that a hurricane passes over the Gulf of Mexico where sensors detect a decrease in ocxygen solubility down to 2.418x10^-4 mol/L. What is the atmospheric pressure of this hurricane? assume that the water and hurricane are at constant temp of 25 degrees Celsius. Henry's constant for O2 in water at this temp is 1.31x10^-3 mol/Latm. Hoping to get some guidance on where to start and how to solve this problem.Greatly appreciated,Tim
