Question:

When Julius Caesar expired, his last exhalation had a volume of 450. cm3 and contained 1.00 mole percent argon. Assume that T = 300.K and P = 1.00 atm at the location of his demise. Assume further that T has the same value throughout the Earth’s atmosphere. If all of his exhaled Ar atoms are now uniformly distributed throughout the atmosphere, how many inhalations of 450. cm3 must we make to inhale one of the Ar atoms exhaled in Caesar’s last breath? Assume the radius of the Earth to be 6.37 × 106 m.
