Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

      Mass = 27.9 g/mol

As we know that according to Avogadro's number there are 6.023 \times 10^{26} atom present in 1 mole. Therefore, weight of 1 atom will be as follows.

            1 atoms weight = \frac{38}{6.023 \times 10^{26}}    

In a diamond cubic cell, the number of atoms are 8. So, n = 8 for diamond cubic cell.

Therefore, total weight of atoms in a unit cell will be as follows.

            = \frac{8 \times 27.9 g/mol}{6.023 \times 10^{26}}

            = 37.06 \times 10^{-26}

Now, we will calculate the volume of a lattice with lattice constant 'a' (cubic diamond) as follows.

                   = a^{3}

                   = (0.503 \times 10^{-9})^{3}

                   = 0.127 \times 10^{-27} m^{3}

Formula to calculate density of diamond cell is as follows.

               Density = \frac{mass}{volume}

                             = \frac{37.06 \times 10^{-26}}{0.127 \times 10^{-27} m^{3}}

                            = 2918.1 g/m^{3}

or,                         = 0.0029 g/cc       (as 1 m^{3} = 10^{6} cm^{3})

Thus, we can conclude that density of given semiconductor in grams/cc is 0.0029 g/cc.

I have a question about ionization energy.
ValentinkaMS [17]
Ionization energy is the measure of the extend to which the nucleus attracts the outermost electron
if ionization energy us high than force of attraction Is high so it is not easy to remove and vice versa .

In the spring of 1984, concern arose over the presence of ethylene dibromide, or EDB, in grains and cereals. EDB has the molecul
Lady bird [3.3K]

869.6 × 10¹⁴ molecules of EDB

Explanation:

We have 1.9 lb of flour with a EDB concentration of 31.5 ppb.

We need to transform lb in grams.

1 lb = 453.6 grams

1.9 lb = (1.9 × 453.6) / 1 = 861.8 grams

Now we determine the number of molecules of EDB in the sample by devise the following reasoning:

if we have        31.5 × 10⁻⁹ g of EDB in 1 g of sample

then we have   X  g of EDB in 861.8 g of sample

X = (31.5 × 10⁻⁹ × 861.8) / 1 = 27146.7 × 10⁻⁹ g of EDB

Molecular mass of EDB (C₂H₄Br₂) = 188 g/mole

Taking in account that 1 mole of any substance contains 6.022 × 10²³ (Avogadro’s number) molecules we devise the following reasoning:

if       188 g of EDB contains 6.022 × 10²³ molecules

then 27146.7 × 10⁻⁹ g of EDB contains Y molecules

Y = (27146.7 × 10⁻⁹ × 6.022 × 10²³) / 188 = 869.6 × 10¹⁴ molecules of EDB

The poh of a solution is 9.32. calculate the hydrogen ion concentration of the solution.
natima [27]
PH+pOH=14
pOH=9.32
pH=14-pOH=14-9.32=4.68
pH=4.68

pH=-log[H⁺]
-pH= log[H⁺]

[H^{+}]= 10^{-pH} = 10^{-4.68}=2.09*10^{-5}

[H^{+}] = 2.09*10^{-5}M
