Practice problem
Units of Pressure

Please type in the units when answering the question with a space between your answer and the unit (abbreviated, like atm rather than atmospheres). Also, please use the correct number of significant figures so that Expii can read your response. Scientific notation should be typed in with 0s after the correct amount of significant figures, not format. Best of luck!
If you ever get stuck on a problem, think "What unit am I starting with? What unit do I want to be in? What is the conversion factor between these units?" If you don't remember the conversion factors, they are in the explanations.
A bag of potato chips is sealed in a factory near seal level. The atmospheric pressure at the factory is 101700 Pa. The bag is then shipped to Denver, Colorado, where the atmospheric pressure is 99.82 kPa. What is the difference (in Pa) between the pressure in the bag and the atmospheric pressure?
