(a)
Interpretation:
The number of particles present in the air for the given space is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The air in the atmosphere is a mixture of different gases and particles. Usually, air contains a balanced composition of gases and particles. However, emissions from industries and automobiles can increase the amount of some gases and particles in air. It causes an imbalance of the atmosphere which can lead to some harmful outcomes.
(a)

Answer to Problem 1.76P
The number of particles present in the air for the given space is
Explanation of Solution
Assuming the particles in air are spherical structures with a dimeter of
Where,
Thereafter, the total volume of the room has to be calculated. The dimensions of the room are given in the units of feet, thus, the units should be converted into meters.
The equation can be used to determine the number of particles in the room.
Therefore, first, the mass of a particles should be calculated.
Then the obtained values can be used in the above mentioned equation to get the number of particles in the room.
(b)
Interpretation:
The amount of particles in air per breath a human takes is to be calculated.

Answer to Problem 1.76P
The allowable amount of particles in air per breath a human takes is
Explanation of Solution
Assuming the particles in air are spherical structures with a dimeter of
Where,
Mass of a particle can be calculated using this volume.
The allowable amount of particles in the human breath can be calculated as follows:
