In this problem, we solve for the liters of a room that holds enough air to contain 55 kg of oxygen. The following are the given values that will be used to solve for the unknown:

Percent oxygen by volume in air = 21%

Density of oxygen = 1.31 g/L

Oxygen capacity of the room = 55 kg

To solve for this, we must get the equivalent volume of oxygen that can fit the room and get the total volume of air.
