Macmillan Learning A Geiger-Muller tube is a type gas-filled radiation detector. It can detect particles like X-rays, alpha particles, and beta rays (electrons). This is useful in quantizing the activity of a radioactive source or determining if an area containing radioactive material is safe to enter. A Geiger counter is filled with 1 mol of argon gas at pressure P = 10104 Pa and temperature T = 25.5 C. The atomic mass of argon is aAr = 39.948 g/mol. What is the density p of the gas in this Geiger tube in grams per cubic centimeter? P = g/cm
