Question
The concentration of carbon monoxide in an urban apartment is $48 \mu \mathrm{g} / \mathrm{m}^{3}$. What mass of carbon monoxide in grams is present in a room measuring $10.6 \mathrm{ft} \times 14.8 \mathrm{ft} \times 20.5 \mathrm{ft}$ ?
Step 1
First, we need to convert the room dimensions from feet to meters, since the concentration is given in micrograms per cubic meter. We can use the conversion factor 1 ft = 0.3048 m. 10.6 ft × 0.3048 m/ft = 3.23 m 14.8 ft × 0.3048 m/ft = 4.51 m 20.5 ft × 0.3048 Show more…

The concentration of carbon monoxide in an urban apartment is $48 \mu \mathrm{g} / \mathrm{m}^{3}$. What mass of carbon monoxide in grams is present in a room measuring $11.0 \mathrm{ft} \times 11.5 \mathrm{ft} \times 20.5 \mathrm{ft}$ ?
The concentration of carbon monoxide in an urban apartment is $48 \mu \mathrm{g} / \mathrm{m}^{3} .$ What mass of carbon monoxide in grams is present in a room measuring $9.0 \times 14.5 \times 18.8 \mathrm{ft}$ ?
Carbon monoxide (CO) detectors sound an alarm when peak levels of carbon monoxide reach 100 parts per million (ppm). This level roughly corresponds to a composition of air that contains $400,000$ \mug carbon monoxide per cubic meter of air $\left(400,000 \mu \mathrm{g} / \mathrm{m}^{3}\right) .$ Assuming the dimensions of a room are 18 $\mathrm{ft} \times 12 \mathrm{ft} \times 8 \mathrm{ft}$ , estimate the mass of carbon monoxide in the room that would register 100 $\mathrm{ppm}$ on a carbon monoxide detector.
