//(14.8) Consider an equilibrium mixture at 2000K consisting of Cs, Cs+, and e-, where Cs denotes neutral cesium atoms, Cs+ singly ionized cesium ions, and e- free electrons. The ionization-equilibrium constant at this temperature for
// Cs <--> Cs+ + e-
//is K = 15.63. Determine the pressure, in atmospheres, if the ionization of Cs is 95% complete, and plot percent completion of ionization versus pressure ranging from 0 to 10 atm.
