How long does it take to raise the temperature of the air in a good-sized living room (3.00m×5.00m×8.00m) by 10.0∘C? Note that t

he specific heat of air is 1006 J/(kg⋅∘C) and the density of air is 1.20kg/m3.

Answer : The time required is, 16.1 minutes.

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the amount of heat required to increase the temperature is:

Q=mC\Delta T\\\\Q=\rho VC\Delta T

(m=\rho V)

where,

Q = amount of heat required = ?

m = mass

\rho = density of air = 1.20kg/m^3

V = volume of air

C = specific heat of air = 1006J/kg^oC

\Delta T = change in temperature = 10.0^oC

Now put all the given values in above formula, we get:

Q=\rho VC\Delta T

Q=(1.20kg/m^3)\times (3.00m\times 5.00m\times 8.00m)\times (1006J/kg^oC)\times (10.0^oC)

Q=1.449\times 10^6J

Now we have to calculate the time required.

Formula used :

t=\frac{Q}{P}

where,

t = time required = ?

Q = amount of heat required = 1.449\times 10^6J

P = power = 1500 W

Now put all the given values in above formula, we get:

t=\frac{1.449\times 10^6J}{1500W}

t=966s\times \frac{1min}{60s}=16.1min

Thus, the time required is, 16.1 minutes.
