Question

A Geiger–Muller tube is a type of gas‑filled radiation detector. It can detect particles like X‑rays, alpha particles, and beta rays (electrons). This is useful in quantizing the activity of a radioactive source or determining if an area containing radioactive material is safe to enter.

If a Geiger counter is filled with 1 mol1 mol of argon gas at pressure ?=9.760×103 PaP=9.760×103 Pa and temperature ?=26.6 ∘C,T=26.6 ∘C, what is the density ?ρ of the gas in this Geiger tube in grams per cubic centimeter? The atomic mass of argon is ?Ar=39.948 g/mol.
