Question

Air conditioners not only cool air but dry it as well. A room in a home measures 6.0 m * 10.0 m * 2.2 m. If the outdoor temperature is 30 C and the vapor pressure of water in the air is 85% of the vapor pressure of water at this temperature, what mass of water must be removed from the air each time the volume of air in the room cycles through the air conditioner? The vapor pressure for water at 30 C is 31.8 torr.

Step 1

The volume of a rectangular room can be calculated by multiplying its length, width, and height. In this case, the room measures 6.0 m * 10.0 m * 2.2 m. So, the volume of the room is: \[ V = 6.0 \, m * 10.0 \, m * 2.2 \, m = 132 \, m^3 = 132000 \, L \] Show more…
