Argon gas has a boiling point of 87 K. If the sample of argon was at -182 ∘C∘C, explain what the distribution of argon atoms in a sealed cylinder is like? EXPLAINING is key. Make sure you convert the ∘C∘C to Kelvin to determine if it is a solid, liquid or gas. Floating at the top, all at the bottom, totally random, on the inside surface of the cylinder. Argon is used to help insulate between double panes of glass and also injected into wine bottles to prevent oxidation.
