Explanation:
The given data is as follows.
Pressure (P) = 760 torr = 1 atm
Volume (V) =
= 0.720 L
Temperature (T) =
= (25 + 273) K = 298 K
Using ideal gas equation, we will calculate the number of moles as follows.
PV = nRT
Total atoms present (n) =
=
= 0.0294 mol
Let us assume that there are x mol of Ar and y mol of Xe.
Hence, total number of moles will be as follows.
x + y = 0.0294
Also, 40x + 131y = 2.966
x = 0.0097 mol
y = (0.0294 - 0.0097)
= 0.0197 mol
Therefore, mole fraction will be calculated as follows.
Mol fraction of Xe =
= 
= 0.67
Therefore, the mole fraction of Xe is 0.67.

Answer:
There were originally 8 atoms of Potassium-40.
Explanation:
The half-life of a radioactive material is the time taken for half the original material to decay or the time required for a quantity of the radioactive substance to reduce to half of its initial value.
If the original material formed without any Argon-40, it means that the atoms originally present were Potassium-40 atoms.
Presently, there are 7 Argon-40 atoms for every 1 of Potassium-40, we can deduce the number of half-lifes the Potassium-40 has undergone as follows :
After one half-life, (1/2) there will be one Potassium-40 atom for every Argon-40 atom.
After a second half life, 1/2 × 1/2 = 1/4: there will be one Potassium-40 atom for every three atoms of Argon-40.
After a third half-life, 1/4 × 1/2 = 1/8: there will be one Potassium-40 atom for every 7 atoms of Argon-40.
Since there are 1/8 atoms of Potassium-40 presently, there were originally 8 atoms of Potassium-40.
