Solution Summary

The density of air in a room at ordinary atmospheric pressure is determined.

Solution Preview

1. Solve for the volume of the room.

Volume = 12 5 ft (15.5 ft) (8 ft)
Volume = 1550 ft3

2. Convert volume of room from ft3 to liter

Useful Conversion factors:
12 in = 1 ft
1 in = 2.54 ...
