Quantitative analyses of aqueous phases and gaseous phases, gas flow rates, aqueous flow rates have been performed at twenty-five hydrothermal springs at Yellowstone National Park. Material balance calculations indicate that the inventory of argon and nitrogen in these features can be explained very well in terms of a ground water distillation model. The average rate for the release of nitrogen by both phases is 9.06 micromoles of nitrogen per mole of water discharged, and the average rate of release of argon by both phases is 0.248 micromoles of argon per mole of solution. A Rayleigh type distillation is considered in these calculations, and the distribution of argon and nitrogen between the aqueous and gaseous phases approaches equilibrium in most of the features. It is noted that these data are valid for these samples only at the time of emergence. There is no evidence for the addition of juvenile argon or nitrogen to the atmosphere by these springs at the present.
