Problem
1. At 10 000 K the ionization reaction for argon as Ar ⇔ Ar+ + e- has an equilibrium constant of K = 4.2 × 10-4. What should the pressure be for a mole concentration of argon ions (Ar+) of 10%?
2. Repeat the previous problem, assuming the argon constitutes 1% of a gas mixture where we neglect any reactions of other gases and find the pressure that will give a mole concentration of Ar+ of 0.1%.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
