A fluorescent light tube contains a noble gas and a drop of mercury. When the fluorescent light operates, the Hg is a vapor and there are free-flowing Hg ions and electrons in the tube. The electrons collide with Hg atoms that then emit ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The inside of the tube is coated with a mixture of several compounds that absorbs UV radiation. Ions in the coating emit a blend of red, green, and blue light that together appears as white light. The compound that produces red light is Y2O3. The compound that produces green light is CeMgAl11O19. The compound that produces blue light is BaMgAl10O17.
Calculate the percent composition by mass of aluminum in the compound that produces green light. Your response must include both a correct numerical setup and the calculated result.
