Answer
* **1 Torr is defined as 1/760 of a standard atmosphere.*** **1 standard atmosphere (atm) is equivalent to 14.696 pounds per square inch (psi).**Therefore, to convert Torr to psi, we can use the following conversion factor:1 Torr = (1/760 atm) * 14.696 psi/atm So, 123 Torr is:123 Torr * (1/760 atm) * 14.696 psi/atm ≈ 2.38 psiTherefore, 123 Torr is approximately **2.38 psi**.
