volume: Ar is added to light bulbs to reduce the vaporization of tungsten
« on: April 24, 2005, 10:54:39 AM »
A small quanity of the inhert gas AR is added to light bulbs  to reduce the vaporization of tungsten (W) atoms from the solid filament. What volume of Argon at a pressure of 760 mmHg is needed to fill a 0.21-L light bulb at a pressure of 1.30 mmHg? Assume the gas temp remains constant.

use Boyle's Law where P1V1 = P2V2 at constant T
