Just as precise measurements are necessary in science, it is equally important to be able to make rough estimates of quantities using rudimentary ideas and common observations. Think of ways by which you can estimate the following (where an estimate is difficult to obtain, try to get an upper bound on the quantity): The number of air molecules in your classroom.

A sample of air weighing 1.18 g occupies $1.0 \times 10^3 \mathrm{~cm}^3$ when kept at 300 K and $1.0 \times 10^5 \mathrm{~Pa}$. When 2.0 cal of heat is added to it at constant volume, its temperature increases by $1^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. Calculate the amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of air by $1^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ at constant pressure if the mechanical equivalent of heat is $4.2 \times 10^7 \mathrm{erg} \mathrm{~cal}^{-1}$. Assume that air behaves as an ideal gas.

One end of a rod of length 20cm is inserted in a furnace at 800K The sides of the rod are covered with an insulating material and the other end emits radiation like a blackbody. The temperature of this end is 750K in the steady state. The temperature of the surrounding air is 300K. Assuming radiation to be the only important mode of energy transfer between the surrounding and the open end of the rod, find the thermal conductivity of the rod. Stefan constant $\sigma=6.0\times10^{-8}\text{Wm}^{-2}\text{K}^{-4}.$
