HW Help: Absolute temp and ideal gas law
What fraction of the air molecules in a house must be pushed outside while the furnace raises the inside temperature from 16C to 20C? The pressure does not change since the house is not 100% airtight.
PV=NkT
PV/T=PV/T
?
NkT=NkT? N2/N1 = T2/T1. N2 = .80N1. Answer provided is .0136. I can't figure how that answer comes about. Help would be grateful. Thanks.
