What minimum energy (in J) was deposited, if 27.0 eV is required to create each ion pair? (b) If all of this energy is converted to thermal energy in the gas, what is its temperature increase (in K), assuming 55.0 cm3 of ideal gas at 0.200 atm pressure? (The small answer is consistent with the fact that the energy is large on a quantum mechanical scale but small on a macroscopic scale. Assume the initial temperature of the gas is 293 K.)
