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
The volume of a rectangular room can be calculated by multiplying its length, width, and height. So, the volume of the room in cubic feet is: \[10.6 \, \text{ft} \times 14.8 \, \text{ft} \times 20.5 \, \text{ft} = 3220 \, \text{ft}^3\] 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.
