Answer – Given, density = 1.19 g/L , room measurements = 14.5 × 18.5 × 9.0ft

We know the volume = 14.5 ft × 18.5 ft × 9.0 ft

                                   = 2414.25 ft3

We need to convert the ft3 to dm3

1 ft3 = 28.32 dm3

So, 2414.25 ft3 = ?

= 68363.9 dm3

We know, 1 dm3 = 1 L

So, 68363.9 L

So, mass of air = density * volume

                         = 1.19 g/L *68363.9 L

                         = 81353.04 g

                         = 81.35 kg

So answer in two significant figure is 81 kg
