Question

The concentration of gallium in silicon is 5.0 × 10−7 at%. What is the concentration in kilograms of gallium per cubic meter?

Answer 1

Answer:

[ Ga ] = 1.163 E-8 Kg/m³

Explanation:

• %wt = [(mass Ga)/(mass Si)]*100 = 5.0 E-7 %

⇒ 5.0 E-9 = m Ga/m Si

assuming: m Si = 100 g = 0.1 Kg

⇒ m Ga = (5.0 E-9)*(0.1 Kg) = 5 E-10 Kg

∴ density (δ) Si = 2.33 Kg/m³

⇒ Volume Si = (0.1 Kg)*(m³/2.33 Kg) = 0.043 m³

⇒ [ Ga ] = (5 E-10 Kg)/(0.043 m³) = 1.163 E-8 Kg/m³

⇒ [ Ga ] =
