In a plasma display panel (PDP), an electrical discharge causes the ionization of gases, producing UV radiation that strikes a phosphor, which generates red, green, or blue light depending on which phosphor coats the cell. Millions of such cells are combined to create an image. Estimate the pressure (in atmospheres) inside a single cell of a PDP, given that the volume of the cell is 0.030 mm³, its temperature is 34°C, and it contains 9.6 ng of neon gas.

PLAN Use the ideal gas law, Eq. 4, to solve for pressure.
