yes , however 3 1/2 ton will save you on your electric bill.
No, you will need closer to 3 tons. Especially if it is room where many people assemble, then you`ll need more.

A "General" calculation is 320 square feet (normal ceilings) per ton. However, please note that there are calculations involved with proper sizing of an AC unit. These calculations work off of "Degree Days" which produces a number based off the average heat for summer; Zones if you will. For instance if you live in zone 1 then your 2 ton unit can cool 680 square feet of home no problem, however in zone 5 it may only cool 320 square feet. Also note that these calculations (and online calculators) do not include insulation and other air leak problems.
Based on "rule of thumb" 1 ton (12000 BTU) cools 500 square feet. Therefore a rule of thumb answer would be 14,400 BTU
The area of 5000 square feet are 0.114784 acres.

The size of the area that a portable air conditioner will keep cool varies depending upon the number of BTU's the unit has. For example, a 12000 BTU air conditioner will cool an area between about 500-600 square feet while a 8000 BTU air conditioner will cool an area of approximately 300-350 square feet.
