Final answer:
The question pertains to finding the final volume of argon gas under different pressure and temperature conditions using the combined gas law. The student can use the formula (1.32 atm * V1 / 403.15 K) = (P2 * V2 / T2) once the final conditions are known to solve for the new volume.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student is asking for the final volume of a sample of argon gas when the pressure and temperature conditions are changed, maintaining the same amount of gas. According to the Ideal Gas Law, the relationship between pressure (P), volume (V), temperature (T), and the number of moles (n) of a gas is given by PV = nRT, where R is the ideal gas constant. For a constant amount of gas (n), we can use the combined gas law P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2 to find the new volume, with P1 and T1 being the initial conditions and P2 and T2 the final conditions. As the question doesn't provide specific final conditions, a formula or proportion can be given to the student to solve for the final volume once those conditions are known.
For example, if the initial conditions are 1.32 atm and 130 °C (which must be converted to Kelvin by adding 273.15 to get 403.15 K) and the final conditions are P2 and T2, the equation will look like this:
(1.32 atm * V1 / 403.15 K) = (P2 * V2 / T2)
The student will then need to rearrange the equation to solve for V2.
