Answer

V= 3.0 L The volume would not be different if the gas was Ar.

Work Step by Step

According to the ideal gas law, $pV= nRT$ or $V= \frac{nRT}{p}$ n= 0.118 mol p= 0.97 atm T= 305 K and R= $0.082057\,L\,atmK^{-1}mol^{-1}$ Therefore, V=$\frac{ 0.118 mol\times0.082057\,L\,atmK^{-1}mol^{-1}\times305 K}{0.97 atm}=3.0\,L$ As the nature of the gas particles doesn't matter, the volume wouldn't be different if the gas was argon.
