If aluminum is diffused into a thick slice of silicon with no previous aluminum in it at a temperature of 1100˚C for 8 hours, wh

at is the depth below the surface at which the concentration is 1016 atoms/cm3 if the surface concentration is maintained at 1018 atoms/cm3? Use D = 2 x 10-12 cm2/s for aluminum diffusing in silicon at 1100˚C.

Answer:

8.354 nanometers

Explanation:

To treat a diffusive process in function of time and distance we need to solve  2nd Ficks Law. This a partial differential equation, with certain condition the solution looks like this:

\frac{C_{s}-C{x}}{C_{s}-C_{o}}=erf(x/2\sqrt{D*t})

Where Cs is the concentration in the surface of the solid

Cx is the concentration at certain deep X

Co is the initial concentration of solute in the solid

and erf is the error function

Then we solve right side,

\frac{C_{s}-C{x}}{C_{s}-C_{o}}=\frac{1018atoms/cm3-1016atoms/cm3}{1018atoms/cm3}=0.001964

And we need to look up the inverse error function of 0.001964 resulting in: 0.00174055

Then we solve for x:

x=0.00174055*2*\sqrt{D*t} =0.00174055*2*\sqrt{2*10^{-12}cm^{2}/s*8h*3600s/h}=8.35464*10^{-7}cm

Helga [31]

Answer:

2.2×10^8

Explanation:

Cu(OH)2(s)<---------> Cu^2+(aq) + 2OH^-(aq) Ksp=2.2 x 10 ^-20

2H3O^+(aq) + 2OH^-(aq) <-------> 4H2O(l). Kw= 1×10^14

Cu^2+(aq) + 4H2O(l) <--------> [Cu(H2O)4]^2+(aq)

Overall ionic reaction:

Cu(OH)2(s) +2H3O^+(aq) <---------> [Cu(H20)4]^2+(aq)

Equilibrium constant for the reaction: Ksp×Kw= 2.2 x 10 ^-20 × (1/(1×10^-14))^2

Keq= 2.2×10^8

Kw= ion dissociation constant of water

Explain how a Buffer acts to resist pH change in a system upon addition of an acid or a base
Leokris [45]

Answer:

Explanation has been given below.

Explanation:

  • A buffer consists of either of a weak acid along with it's conjugate base or a weak base along with it's conjugate acid.
  • Let's consider a buffer consists of a weak acid along with it's conjugate base
  • If we add an acid to this buffer then conjugate base gets protonated and converted to corresponding weak acid. So effect of addition of acid gets neutralized by forming weak acid rather than increase in concentration of proton in solution.
  • If we add a base to this buffer then weak acid gets converted to corresponding conjugate base. So effect of addition of base gets neutralized by forming conjugate base rather than in crease in concentration of hydroxyl ion in solution.

Answer:

  C  The experiment shows that the red substance experienced a chemical change.

Explanation:

Apparently, adding heat caused the red substance to decompose into a gas and a metallic liquid. If it were simply a phase change, the original red substance could be expected to return when the temperature cooled. Because the substance apparently decomposed, it is clearly not an element. At no point in the experiment is there any evidence of a plasma being formed.

The observed decomposition is a chemical change.
