To what final temperature would the air be heated


In some solar-heated homes, heat from the sun is stored in rocks during the day and then released during the cooler night. (a) Calculate the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 78.7 kg of rocks from 25.0°C to 43.0°C. Assume that the rocks are limestone, which is essentially pure calcium carbonate. The specific heat of calcium carbonate is 0.818 J/g°C. (b) Suppose that when the rocks in part (a) cool to 30.0°C, all the heat released goes to warm the 10,000 ft3 (2.83 x 105 L) of air in the house, originally at 10.0°C. To what final temperature would the air be heated? The specific heat of air is 1.004 J/g°C, and its density is 1.20 x 103 g/mL
