(a) Repeat the previous exercise, and convert the energy to joules or calories.

(b) If all of this energy is converted to thermal energy in the gas, what is its temperature increase, assuming 50.0 cm³ of ideal gas at 0.250-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.)

Data from previous exercise

A particle of ionizing radiation creates 4000 ion pairs in the gas inside a Geiger tube as it passes through. What minimum energy was deposited, if 30.0 eV is required to create each ion pair?
