The density of air under ordinary conditions at 25°C is 1.19 g/L. How many kilograms of air are in a room that measures 10.0 ft × 11.0 ft and has an 10.0 ft ceiling? 1 in = 2.54 cm (exactly); 1 L = 103 cm3.

Respuesta :

Answer: The mass of air present in the room is 37.068 kg

Explanation :  Given,

Length of the room = 10.0 ft

Breadth of the room = 11.0 ft

Height of the room = 10.0 ft

To calculate the volume of the room by using the formula of volume of cuboid, we use the equation:

[tex]V=lbh[/tex]

where,

V = volume of the room

l = length of the room

b = breadth of the room

h = height of of the room

Putting values in above equation, we get:

[tex]V=10.0ft\times 11.0ft\times 10.0ft=1100ft^3=31148.53L[/tex]

Conversion used : [tex]1ft^3=28.3168L[/tex]

Now we have to calculate the mass of air in the room.

[tex]Density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}[/tex]

[tex]1.19g/L=\frac{Mass}{31148.53L}[/tex]

[tex]Mass=37066.7507g=37.068kg[/tex]

Conversion used : (1 kg = 1000 g)

Therefore, the mass of air present in the room is 37.068 kg

Answer: There are 37 kg of air in the room.

Explanation:

To calculate the volume of cuboid (room), we use the equation:

[tex]V=lbh[/tex]

where,

V = volume of cuboid

l = length of room = 11 ft

b = breadth of room =  10 ft

h = height of room= 10 ft

Putting values in above equation, we get:

[tex]V=10\times 11\times 10=1100ft^3=1100\times 28.3L=31130L[/tex]  (Conversion factor: [tex]1ft^3=28.3L[/tex]

To calculate mass of a substance, we use the equation:

[tex]\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}[/tex]

We are given:

Density of air = 1.19 g/L

Volume of air = volume of room =  31130 L

Putting values in above equation, we get:

[tex]1.19g/L=\frac{\text{Mass of air}}{31130L}\\\\\text{Mass of air}=37000g=37.0kg[/tex]    (1kg=1000g)

Hence, the mass of air is 37 kg.
