A typical plasma in an ICP increases the temperature of an atom by about 9000 K (i.e. from 273 K to 9273 K). If the energy difference for an atom between its ground and excited state is ΔE = 3.00 * 10-19 J, calculate the ratio of electrons in the excited state compared to the ground state. Assume the degeneracy of the ground state is 1, while the excited state is 3.

Suppose that you have a solution containing a substance whose molecules have two quantum states corresponding to different orientations of a certain subgroup of atoms. The energy difference between these two molecular states is ΔE = 0.130 eV. You are running an experiment where no more than 5% percent of the molecules can be in the higher-energy state, or it will cause unacceptable noise. Can you run the experiment at room temperature, or do you need to cool your solution? Decide by determining the percentage of molecules in the higher-energy state.
The percentage of molecules in the higher-energy state is_____ %.
