The correct Answer is:
To find the volume of air that consists of one cubic meter of Argon, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Composition of Air**: - The air consists of: - Nitrogen: 79.2% - Oxygen: 20.7% - Other light gases: 0.08% - Argon: Unknown percentage 2. **Calculate the Percentage of Argon**: - The total percentage of all gases in air is 100%. - To find the percentage of Argon, we subtract the percentages of the other gases from 100%. - Calculation: \[ \text{Percentage of Argon} = 100\% - (79.2\% + 20.7\% + 0.08\%) \] - Performing the addition: \[ 79.2 + 20.7 + 0.08 = 99.98\% \] - Now subtract from 100%: \[ \text{Percentage of Argon} = 100\% - 99.98\% = 0.02\% \] 3. **Set Up the Equation**: - Let the volume of air be \( x \) cubic meters. - According to the problem, the volume of Argon in the air is 1 cubic meter. - We can express this relationship as: \[ \frac{0.02}{100} \times x = 1 \] 4. **Solve for \( x \)**: - Rearranging the equation gives: \[ x = \frac{1 \times 100}{0.02} \] - Simplifying this: \[ x = \frac{100}{0.02} = 5000 \] 5. **Conclusion**: - The volume of air that contains 1 cubic meter of Argon is **5000 cubic meters**. ### Final Answer: The volume of air consisting of one cubic meter of Argon is **5000 cubic meters**. ---

According to the Avogadro's law , equal number of moles of gases occupy the same volume at identical conditions of temperature and pressure. Even if we have a mixture of non-reacting gases then Avogadro's law is still obeyed by assuming mixture as a new gas. Now let us assume air to consist of 80% by volume of nitrogen (N_(2)) and 20% by volume of oxygen (O_(2)) . If air is taken at STP , then its 1 mol would occupy 22.4 L . 1 mol of air would contain 0.8 mol of N_(2) and 0.2 mol of O_(2) hence the mole fraction of N_(2) and O_(2) are given by X_(n_(2))=0.8, X_(o_(2))=0.2 Density of air at STP is:
