Heat Capacity?
A house is designed to have passive solar energy features. Brickwork is to be incorporated into the interior of the house to act as a heat absorber. Each brick weighs 2.33 kg, and the specific heat of each brick is 0.85 J/g-K. How many bricks must be incorporated into the interior of the house to provide the same total heat capacity as 2.52E3 gallons of water? {the density of water is 1.00 g/cc}
Can anyone help me with this?
house is designed to have passive solar energy features. Brickwork is to be incorporated into the interior of the house to act as a heat absorber. Each brick weighs approximately 1.8 kg. The specific heat of the brick is 0.85 J/g·K. How many bricks must be incorporated into the interior of the house to provide the same total heat capacity as 2.0 103 gal of water
Can ANYONE DO THIS, I TRIED IT BUT KEPT GETTING A WRONG ANSWER?

How many bricks must be incorporated into the interior of the house to provide the same total heat capacity as 1500 gal of water?
Thank you in advance.
How would you find the total heat capacity of 1800 gal of water?

Will another layer on my floors increase or decrease thermal mass?
I recently purchased a home in Arizona that is designed to use passive solar radiation to heat the floors in winter. The sun comes in the windows at an angle, and heat is stored in the floor by bricks. The bricks are packed tightly in sand, and not mortared in. I find them rough underfoot and difficult to keep clean. If they were tiled over with clay tiles or covered with cement, would the floor maintain the same level of thermal mass?
