Chapter 18, Problem 9E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The dimensions of the plasma cell that contains $4\%$ mass of a Xenon element in a mixture of $1:1$

$\text{Ne:He}$ are given. The number of atoms of given elements and the assumption made for the calculation is to be determined.

Concept introduction: The number of Xenon atoms is calculated by the formula,

$\text{Xenon}\text{atoms}=\text{Percentage}\text{mass}\times \text{Total}\text{number}\text{of}\text{atoms}$

To determine: The Number of atoms of Xenon, Neon and Helium and the assumption made of the calculation.
