The speed of sound through argon is shown.
A 3 column by 3 row table. Column 1 is titled Element and includes the following entries: Argon (gas), Argon (liquid). Column 2 is titled Temperature (degrees Celsius) and includes the following entries: 27, negative 1.86. Column 3 is titled Speed of Sound (meters per second) and includes the following entries: 323, 813.
If argon could exist as a solid, what would best represent the speed through solid argon?
10 m/s
250 m/s
500 m/s
3200 m/s

3200 m/s.
Reason: sound speed increases with material stiffness (v ≈ sqrt(modulus/density)). Gas → liquid → solid increases stiffness, so the solid value should be higher than 813 m/s; 3200 m/s is the only option above the liquid value.
