Suppose you have a box of atomic hydrogen, initially at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. You then raise the temperature, keeping the volume fixed Find an expression for the fraction of the hydrogen that is ionized as a function of temperature. (You'll have to solve a quadratic equation.) Check that your expression has the expected behavior at very low and very high temperatures. Plot the expression you found as a function of the dimensionless variable t = kT/ I. Choose the range of t values to clearly show the interesting part of the graph.

#20 A small (but heavy) particle placed in a glass of water will follow a zigzag motion because the particle will bounce off of the water molecules it meets. This is called Brownian motion. A physicist simulates this on a computer, by varying the distance a particle can travel (called the mean free length), on average, before it collides with a water molecule and assigning the change in motion to be one of 8 directions, each with a similar probability. By running the simulated particle (with the same mean free length) many times she determines that it should take 15 seconds, on average, for the particle to fall to the bottom, with a standard deviation of 1.5 seconds. Next she lets a real particle fall through a glass of water and finds that it took 18 seconds. What does she conclude, and why?
