Answer:

1.3g/L is the density of the air

Step-by-step explanation:

The room is full of air, the space that the air occupy is:

500 cm x 400 cm x 250 cm = 5.00x10⁷ cm³

The density of a substance is defined as the ratio between the mass of the substance and the space that occupy. We can express the density of air in g/L:

Grams air:

65 kg * (1000g / 1kg) = 65000g

Liters:

5.00x10⁷ cm³ * (1L / 1000cm³) = 50000L

Density:

65000g / 50000L =

1.3g/L is the density of the air
