Materials engineers often create new alloys in an effort to improve the
properties of an existing material. ZnO-based semiconductors show
promise in applications like light-emitting diodes, but their
performance can be enhanced by the addition of small amounts of
cadmium. One material that has been studied can be represented by
the formula Zn 0.844 Cd 0.156 O. (These materials are solid solutions,
and so they can have variable compositions. The non-integer
coefficients do not imply fractional atoms.) Express the composition of
this alloy in terms of mol % and wt %.
mol % =
% Zn
wt % =
% Zn
