1.

Volume  of the room = 60m³

Average molecular mass = 29 u

Pressure = 1.0 atm

Temperature = 22 ° C

Gas consatant (R) = 0.082 L

By using ideal gas equation 

                         P* V = [ (mass) /(mass of 1 mole ) ]*RT

                    =>Mass = ( P * V  *mass of 1 mole) /R*T

Now substituting the given values,

                    Mass = (1 * 60 * 29) / (0.082 * 22)

                             =1740 / 1.804

                             = 964.5 u

So , the mass of air in the room is 964.5 u
