bars vs atm

[Kaylee Clarke 1G]

what is the difference of units in bars vs atm? which should we be using for solving problems?

[KeyaV1C]

1 bar is 0.986923 atm. The unit you use depends on the R value you use so that the units cancel out

Mainly ensure consistency with units.

[Morgan Carrington 2H]

I don't think there is exactly a difference except that they are two different units used to measure pressure. Just make sure that you use the same units that are given in the problem in you calculations and you should be good.

[Astrid Lunde 1I]

They are two different units, but they do the same thing:measure pressure. As long as you are constant with what unit you use for a single problem you should be ok.

[Areli C 1L]

The units will be different and I don't think Lavelle will not mention the type of pressure (bar or atm) used in the problem. Either way, just be sure to maintain the units so you don't get points deducted.

[Jialun Chen 4F]

They are both units for measuring pressure. I think as long as your units in one question remain consistent, you're all set.

[Daniel Yu 1E]

It technically doesn't matter, at least for Test 1, the difference between bars and atm. It will result in different answers in different units because you use different R constants, but the answers should be interchangeable with a bit of conversion.

[Max Madrzyk Dis 4G]

Both units have to deal with pressure so I think the only thing that matters is that you stay consistent throughout the problem that you are working.
