the density of air at 25C is 1.19 g/L. WHat is the mass, in Kg, of the air in a room that measures 12.5 X 15.5 X 8.0 ft?
how would I go about this???

First thing u do is change the measurement unit (ft) into cm. 1 ft equal 30.48 cm. change all three numbers, 12.5ft = 381cm, 15.5ft = 472.44cm, and 8.0ft = 243.84. Now multiply them to get an answer of 4.39 x 10^7 cm^3 (cubic centimeter). Now 1 cm^3 equals 1 ml which mean u have 4.39 x 10^7ml. Now change the 4.39 x 10^7ml into 4.39 x10^4 L. Now we have the density and we have the volume, we can solve for mass. Mass = Density X Volume. Mass = 1.19 g/L X 4.39 x10^4 L which equals 5.22 x 10^4 g. However we are still not done as the question requires u to put ur final answer into Kg. Since 1000g = 1 Kg, ur final answer is 52.2 Kg.

Density = 1.19 g/L

Volume = 12.5 ft * 15.5 ft * 8 ft = 1550 ft^3
Conversion: 1 cubic foot = 0.028 cubic meter

Volume:
1550 ft^3 = 43.4 m^3
Conversion: 1 cubic meter = 1000 Liter
Volume: 43.4 * 10^3 L

mass = density * volume
m = 1.19 g/L * 43.4 * 10^3 L

m = 51.646 * 10^3 g = 51.646 kg

D=M/V
DV=M

Convert the length measurements to inches:

12.5 ft * (12 in/12 ft)=150(line over the 0) in
15.5 ft * (12 in/12 ft)=186 in
8.0 ft * (12 in/12 ft)=96 in

Convert them then from in to cm:

150 in * (2.54 cm/1 in)=381 cm
186 in * (2.54 cm/1 in)=472.44 cm
96 in * (2.54 cm/1 in)=243.84 cm


Find the volume of the room in L and then multiply by the density:

381 cm * 472.44 cm * 243.84 cm * (1 mL/1 cm^3) * (1 L/1000 mL) * (1.19 g/L) * (1 kg / 1000 g) = 52 kg (with correct sig figs)

Get the volune of air in the room. = L x B x H = V
Convert the Volune from ft3 into L
Density(g/L) x Volune(L) = Mass(g)
Then Convert Mass(g) to Mass(kg).

Note: 1 ft3 = 28.31685 L

The calculation is as such.

12.5ft x 15.5ft x 8ft = 1550ft3

1550ft3 x 28.31685 = 43891.1175 L

43891.1175 L x 1.19 g/L = 52230.429825 g

1000g = 1kg

Therefore 52230.429825 g = 52230.429825/1000 = 52.23 kg Air

There you are.

density is mass per unit volume since more and more electrons are added either side across/ downwards thus density increases both sides. However atomic radius decreases Lto R and increases down the group. I hope u got it

WELL YOU SHOULD FIRST GET THE VOLUME OF THE ROOM
12.5 X 15.5 X 8 FT WHICH WOULD EQUAL FT^3 CONVERT THAT TO LITERS
\
GET THE LITERS IT EQUATES TO AND MULTIPLY THIS BY THE DENSITY AND YOU WILL CANCEL OUT LITERS AND BE LEFT WITH GRAMS OF AIR!!!!!

You have the density and the volume. That's all you need to get mass.

You'll need to do some units conversion but that shouldn't be a problem for your big brain.
