To convert pressure from atmospheres (atm) to millimeters of mercury (mmHg), you can use the following conversion factor:

1 atm = 760 mmHg

So, to convert 1.05 atm to mmHg, you use this formula:

\[ \text{Pressure in mmHg} = \text{Pressure in atm} \times 760 \, \text{mmHg/atm} \]

Plugging in the value:

\[ \text{Pressure in mmHg} = 1.05 \, \text{atm} \times 760 \, \text{mmHg/atm} \]

\[ \text{Pressure in mmHg} = 798 \, \text{mmHg} \]

So, 1.05 atm is equivalent to 798 mmHg.
