Gravity data from Cassini have provided a moment of inertia for Titan too large for a fully differentiated body [1]. Others have suggested that the ice and rock are not completely separated, in a layer above an anhydrous silicate core [2]. We have proposed a model in which the core of Titan is partially hydrated, and maintained so against radiogenic heating by the leaching of 40K from the rock into the overlying ocean [3]. Here we estimate the amount of 40Ar outgassed into the atmosphere over time in the context of such a model.
