  Argon gas has several industrial uses, including arc welding and steel making. Argon is nonflammable and nontoxic, and so can be kept at room temperature (T = 21° C). Companies can buy Argon gas in cylinders which are kept at pressure of P = 221 psi. In this problem you may assume that ideal gas law still holds.

Part A:  How much average kinetic energy (in J) does each atom of the the Argon gas in the cylinder have? 

Part B:  If the volume of this cylinder is V = 179 L, how many moles of Argon are inside?
