Assuming ideal gas behaviour, how many atoms of Ar are contained in human breath of 0.5L at 37C and 1 atm pressure. Air consists of 1 % Ar atoms. Assuming that argon atoms from the last breath of Plato have been distributed randomly throughout the atmosphere(5*10^18 m^3). How long would it take to breath one of these atoms if breath rate is 10/min

Dear Student,
From the ideal gas equation:
 PV=nRT
Given values after substitution we get,
              1x .5 = n x 0.082 x 310
              Hereby n = 0.02
             So, no of atoms are 0.02 N
            Here as Ar is 1% so it will be 0.0002N  atoms.
Cheers!!
