About the use of pascal or atmosphere in chemistry
Generally, the use of quantity equations is preferred and is strongly recommended. They have the advantage of being independent of the choice of units.

For example, instead of “speed in kilometre per hour is 3.6 times the quotient of distance in metres by time in seconds”, which corresponds to the numerical value equation

$$v/(\mathrm{km/h})=3.6\frac {l/\mathrm m}{t/\mathrm s}$$ or $$\left\{v\right\}_{\mathrm{km/h}}=3.6\frac{\left\{l\right\}_{\mathrm m}}{\left\{t\right\}_{\mathrm s}}$$

you should write “speed $v$ is the quotient of distance $l$ by time $t$”, preferably in form of the quantity equation

$$\displaystyle v=\frac lt$$

Generally, you can work with any units you like; however, this requires the use of conversion factors. The use of conversion factors is never required when only coherent SI units are used; therefore, the use of coherent SI units (the SI base units and the SI coherent derived units, including those with special names) are preferred. 

In order to avoid large or small numerical values, decimal multiples and submultiples of units may be formed with the SI prefixes. However, when prefixes are used with SI units, the resulting units are no longer coherent, because a prefix effectively introduces a numerical factor in the expression for the unit in terms of the base units.

Furthermore, various non-SI units are accepted for use.

In the International System of Quantities, pressure $p$ is defined as
$$p=\frac{\mathrm dF}{\mathrm dA}$$
Where $\mathrm dF$ is the force component perpendicular to the surface element of area $\mathrm dA$.

The coherent derived units in the SI for the pressure has the special name pascal and the symbol $\mathrm{Pa}$. According to the definition of pressure, the pascal can be expressed in terms of other SI units as $1\ \mathrm{Pa}=1\ \mathrm{N/m^2}$. The pascal can also be expressed in terms of SI base units as $1\ \mathrm{Pa}=1\ \mathrm{m^{-1}\ kg\ s^{-2}}$. The last form is especially useful to check whether units in equations and calculations are converted correctly.

The SI prefixes may be used with any of the names and symbols, but when this is done the resulting unit will no longer be coherent.

The bar (symbol $\mathrm{bar}$) is included in the list of non-SI units that are used by special interest groups for a variety of different reasons. Although the use of SI units is to be preferred for reasons already emphasized, authors who see a particular advantage in using these non-SI units should have the freedom to use the units that they consider to be best suited to their purpose. In particular, the bar is included because since 1982 one bar has been used as the standard pressure for tabulating all thermodynamic data. (Prior to 1982 the standard pressure used to be the standard atmosphere, equal to $1.01325\ \mathrm{bar}$, or $101\,325\ \mathrm{Pa}$.)

The following other non-SI units can be used, which requires the use of conversion factors. However, the use of these units is deprecated.

Note that expressions for units shall contain nothing else than unit symbols and mathematical symbols. Any attachment to a unit symbol as a means of giving information about the special nature of the quantity or context of measurement under consideration is not permitted.

For example, write “the gauge pressure is $p_\mathrm e=0.5\ \text{bar}$”, not “$p=0.5\ \text{bar(g)}$”.

(The symbol $p_\mathrm e$ is recommended for gauge pressure, defined $p-p_\mathrm{amb}$, where $p_\mathrm{amb}$ is the ambient pressure. Thus the gauge pressure is positive or negative depending on whether $p$ is larger or smaller than $p_\mathrm{amb}$.)
