Question:
You want to heat the air in your house with natural gas (CH4). Assume your house has 275 m2 (about 2800 ft2) of floor area and that the ceilings are 2.50 m from the floors. The air in the house has a molar heat capacity of 29.1 J/mol ∙ K. (The number of moles of air in the house can be found by assuming that the average molar mass of air is 28.9 g/mol and that the density of air at these temperatures is 1.22 g/L.) What mass of methane do you have to burn to heat the air from 15.0°C to 22.0°C?
