Why is pure silicon a poor conductor at room temperature?

Chemistry

Because pure silicon is a perfect semiconductor.

For room temperature, it rarely conducts, you can search for the threshold temperature, the characteristic equation is fairly complicated.

What is the pressure of a mixture of 0.200 g of H2, 1.00 g of N2 , and 0.820 g of Ar in a container with a volume of 2.00 L at 2
alexdok [17]

Answer:

P(mixture) = 1.92 atm

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of H₂ = 0.200 g

Mass of N₂ = 1.00 g

Mass of Ar = 0.820 g

Volume = 2 L

Temperature = 20°C

Pressure of mixture = ?

Solution:

Pressure of hydrogen:

Number of moles of hydrogen = mass / molar mass

Number of moles of hydrogen = 0.200 g / 2 g/mol

Number of moles of hydrogen = 0.1 mol

P = nRT / V

P = 0.1 mol× 0.0821 atm. L.mol⁻¹ .k⁻¹ × 293 K / 2L

p = 2.41 atm. L /2 L

P = 1.2 atm

Pressure of nitrogen:

Number of moles of nitrogen = mass / molar mass

Number of moles of nitrogen = 1 g / 28 g/mol

Number of moles of nitrogen = 0.04 mol

P = nRT / V

P = 0.04 mol× 0.0821 atm. L.mol⁻¹ .k⁻¹ × 293 K / 2L

p = 0.96 atm. L /2 L

P = 0.48 atm

Pressure of argon:

Number of moles of argon = mass / molar mass

Number of moles of argon = 0.820 g / 40 g/mol

Number of moles of argon = 0.02 mol

P = nRT / V

P = 0.02 mol× 0.0821 atm. L.mol⁻¹ .k⁻¹ × 293 K / 2L

p = 0.48 atm. L /2 L

P = 0.24 atm

Total pressure of mixture:

P(mixture)  = pressure of hydrogen + pressure of nitrogen + pressure of argon

P(mixture)  = 1.2 atm + 0.48 atm + 0.24 atm

P(mixture) = 1.92 atm

Suggest an experimental method for measuring the change in concentration with time for each of the following reactions:(b) 2NO(g
USPshnik [31]

The experimental method for measuring the change in concentration with time for the given reaction is by measuring the amount of gas a reaction releases over time.

2NO(g) + Cl₂(g) → 2NOCl(g)

<h3>What is reaction rate?</h3>
  • The reaction rate is the rate at which a chemical reaction proceeds.
  • Which is proportional to both the increase in a product's concentration per unit time and the decrease in a reactant's concentration per unit time.
  • There is a wide range in reaction times.
  • The general definition is that the term "rate of a reaction" refers to the pace at which a reaction occurs.
  • As an illustration, iron rusting has a low reaction rate since the process is slow but wood burning has a high reaction rate because the process is quick.

Which solution has the higher boiling point: 42.0 g c2h6o2 in 0.500 kg of h2o or 35.0 g nacl in 0.500 kg of h2o?
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

  • The NaCl solution will have higher boiling point.

Explanation:

  • C2H6O2 is a molecular substance. Meaning that when it dissolves it will remain this way:

                                  C2H6O2 ---------> C6H12O6 (aq)  

  • Sodiumchloride (NaCl) is an ionic substance. Meaning that when it dissolves, it will create ions:

                                   NaCl(s)-------> Na+(aq) + Cl- (aq)

Conclusion:

  • NaCl is an ionic compound and C2H6O2 is a molecular compound. Ionic compounds have higher boiling points than molecular compounds. Therefore, NaCl will have the higher boiling point.
