To answer this question, you need to know the conversion from atmospheres (atm) to pascals

1atm = 101.1 kPa
1 kPa = 1000 Pa

start with what is given;

$6.8*10^-2$ atm $(101.3kPa)/(1atm)$ $(1000Pa)/(1kPa)$ = $6.9*10^3$ $Pa$

The unit pound per square inch (psi) is equal to 6.8 * 10^-26.8 * 10^-2 atm. What is the equivalent pressure in pascals?
