Question

If mercury overflows, it’ll trigger an alarm in the lab. The teacher wants to keep the lab at exactly 16.37 ^◦C. While the mercury alarm is in place. How long would a person of average body size (surface area of about 1.8 m² and normal body temperature of 37^◦C) have to spend in the lab which holds 2700 moles of air to trigger the mercury alarm?

Side note: The maximum temperature the lab can heat the system to (to the thousandth of a degree Celsius) before the mercury overflows is 16.37^◦C.
