Ar is around 40, not enough different from N2 = 28 or O2 = 32 to make a difference at 1%. CO2 is 44, at way under 1%, and H2O is 18, also only a couple percent at STP. And the Ar/CO2 and H2O tend to cancel each other. -R -- "We've all heard that a million monkeys banging on a million typewriters will eventually reproduce the entire works of Shakespeare.
