0 1 A room contains dry air at a temperature of 20.0 °C and a pressure of 105 kPa.
0 1 . 1 Show that the amount of air in each cubic metre is about 40 mol.
[1 mark]
0 1 . 2 The density of the dry air is 1.25 kg m−3.
Calculate crms for the air molecules.
Give your answer to an appropriate number of significant figures.

A dehumidifier cools and then condenses water vapour from the moist air.
The final temperature of the liquid water that collects in the dehumidifier is 10 °C.
Drier air leaves the dehumidifier at a temperature of 20 °C.
Table 1 compares the air flowing into and out from the dehumidifier.

moist air flowing in 0.0057
drier air flowing out 0.0037
In one hour, a volume of 960 m3 of air flows through the dehumidifier.
Assume that the density of the air remains constant at 1.25 kg m−3.
Determine how much heat energy is removed in one hour from the water vapour by
the dehumidifier.
specific heat capacity of water vapour = 1860 J kg−1 K−1
specific latent heat of vaporisation of water = 2.3 × 106 J kg−1
