Can Argon gas be used in place of CO2 gas for a beer keg?

No, it will not taste the same or act the same. It is tasteless and odorless. Ben Krasnow tried an experimental attempt. CO2 is what gives beer the fizz and adds taste too. Beers with nitrogen are still CO2 carbonated but the nitrogen adds a different texture until it quickly dissipates.

How long will a mini keg last?

Keg beer lasts about a month once opened/tapped, but that's assuming that you have a way to maintain pressure in the keg. Usually this is done with a CO2 gas feed that maintains the pressure inside the keg to keep the carbonation in the beer. If you mean the typical 5 liter mini keg you can buy on a store shelf, most have no pressurizing system. Once opened the beer will go flat in a couple of days. There are mini kegerator systems out there that will maintain the pressure, however.

What is the furthest distance that co2 can push beer effectively?

Generally 25 ft. Is the longest you want to run straight Co2. 14-22lbs. Anything higher than that will create over carbonated beer. The Co2 simply pushes the beer to the faucet from the keg. Too high of pressure and the Co2 absorbs into the beer rather than push the beer.

What if beer keg gets hot?

If it gets warm, it can negatively effect the flavor. If it gets too hot, it can be dangerous. A partially filled keg that is thrown into a fire can explode and send metal flying everywhere. Also depends how hot you are talking. If you are just talking about a warm keg, then you are going to have hot beer obviously. Also, when you tap the keg and begin serving, your beer will be very foamy and the the beer will taste flat. Needs to be cooler to keep the CO2 locked into the beer.
