In a vacuum chamber filled with argon gas at 100 mTorr, a plasma is ignited resulting to 1% ionization. This is already a "hot plasma" by lab processing standards. Calculate the number density of plasma electrons (should be about the same as the argon ion density due to quasineutrality) in this 1% ionized plasma.
