Th e heat capacity of air is much smaller than that of water, and relatively modest amounts of heat are needed to change its temperature. th is is one of the reasons why desert regions, although very hot during the day, are bitterly cold at night. th e heat capacity of air at room temperature and pressure is approximately 21 j k−1 mol−1. how much energy is required to raise the temperature of a room of dimensions 5.5 m × 6.5 m × 3.0 m by 10°c? if losses are neglected, how long will it take a heater rated at 1.5 kw to achieve that increase given that 1 w = 1 j s−1?

Q=1005 J

t= 0.67 sec

Explanation:

Lets take condition of room is 1 atm and 25°C.

Heat capacity ,c = 21 J /K.mol

If we assume that air is ideal gas that

P V = n R T

V= 107250 L

At STP number of moles given as

V=22.4 L at S.T.P.

n=4787.94 moles

n= 4.784 Kmoles

So heat required to raise 10°C temperature

Q = n x c x ΔT

Q = 4.78794 x 21 x 10

Q=1004.64 J

Time t

t= Q/P

P= 1.5 KW

t = 1.004.64 /1.5

t= 0.66 sec

b. latent learning (the word "latent" itself means something that exists but isn't obvious, only under certain conditions! )

i am pretty sure it is c because when people are closer together, they cannot move as freely. picture being in a mostly full elevator, for instance. the people are right next to you, and you can barely move.
