large room in a house holds 957 kg of dry air at 32.2°C. A woman opens a window briefly and a cool breeze brings in an additional 64.4 kg of dry air at 13.2°C. At what temperature (in degrees Cels vo air masses come into thermal equilibrium, assuming they form a closed system? (The specific heat of dry air is 1006- although that value will cancel out of the calorimetry equation.)
