Liquid argon at its normal boiling point (

-186\,^{\circ}\text{C}

) has a density of

1.40\,\text{g/cm}^{3}

. At the same temperature and a pressure of

1.00\,\text{atm}

, argon exists as a gas that follows the ideal gas law. Calculate the following: (a) Find the molar volume of liquid argon in

\text{cm}^{3}/\text{mol}

. (b) Find the molar volume of gaseous argon in

\text{L}/\text{mol}

. (c) Find the factor by which the gaseous molar volume exceeds the liquid molar volume.
