While it seems that many of the mysteries around single bubble Sonoluminescence (SBSL) are solved, one key question remains, how hot does the bubble really get? Recent computations have reduced the prediction to ～7000 K. This prediction seems to be inconsistent with other well established aspects of SBSL such as the dissociation hypothesis and light emission. This paper will demonstrate that temperatures of 7000 K are not inconsistent with the dissociation hypothesis through direct simulation of argon rectification.
