The energy gap between the valence band and the conduction band in the widely-used semiconductor gallium arsenide (GaAs) is Δ =

1.424 eV. Suppose that we consider a small piece of GaAs with 1020 available electrons, and use the equilibrium condition derived in the prelecture. 1) On average, how many electrons will be in the conduction band if T=274.15 K?

Answer:

n_e = 8.139 *10^6

Explanation:

Given that;

The energy gap between the valence band and the conduction band in the widely-used semiconductor gallium arsenide (GaAs) is Δ = 1.424 eV.

So; that implies that:

\delta \ E = 1.424 \ eV

Suppose that we consider a small piece of GaAs with 1020 available electrons, -- This is taking about the numbers of electrons used which is :

n_i = 10^{20} \ electrons

Temperature is given as:

T = 274.15 \ K

Number of electrons can be calculated by using the formula;

n_e = n_i*e^-^{\frac{\delta E }{2 K_B*T}}

n_e = 10^{20}*e^-^{\frac{1.424}{2*8.617*10^{-5}*274.15}}

n_e = 8.139 *10^6

Nitric oxide, an important pollutant in air, is formed from the elements nitrogen and oxygen at high temperatures, such as those
Tanya [424]

Answer:

Q is 0.5 and K is 0.01, therefore K is less than Q.

the system will proceed in the reverse direction, thereby converting products into reactants. converting Nitric oxide to form oxygen and nitrogen.

Explanation:

Given,

N2 (g) + O2 (g) « 2 NO (g)

K = 0.01

heated temperature = 2000 ⁰C

N2 moles =0.4

O2 moles =0.1

2NO moles = 0.08

Volume of container = 1L

Q is the reaction quotient  of the equilibrium equation. it is use to determined which direction the system will move to by comparing it with the K value.

Q can be calculated by multiplication of mass of reactant divide by mass of product

Q =\frac{ [N2] *[O2}{2NO}

the mass of the chemicals are in mole, there is need to convert them to moles/litre

therefore,

for N₂ : 0.4 mole per 1L container = 0.4 mol/L = 0.4M

for O₂ : 0.1 mole per 1L container = 0.1 mol/L = 0.1M

for 2NO : 0.08mole per 1L container = 0.08 mol/L = 0.08M

Q =\frac{ [N2] *[O2}{2NO} = (0.4*0.1)/0.08 = 0.5

finally, we are going to compare the value of Q with K

Note that:

if K>Q , the reaction will proceed forward, converting reactants into product.

if K<Q , the reaction will proceed backward, converting products into reactants.

if K=Q , the system of reaction is already in equilibrium.

since, Q is 0.5 and K is 0.01, therefore K is less than Q.

the system will proceed in the reverse direction, thereby converting products into reactants. converting Nitric oxide to form oxygen and nitrogen.
