Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Whether the conductivity will increase, decrease or remain same when n-type
Concept introduction:
Semiconductors are devices that have conductivity intermediate between conductors and insulators and their conductivity gets enhances when doped.
Doped semiconductors are used in commercialized electronic devices as diodes, transistors, LEDs, photovoltaic cells. They all differ in their functions that are as follows:
- Diodes convert alternating current to direct current.
- Photovoltaic cells convert sunlight to electricity.
- LEDs act as a light source.
- Transistors amplify an electrical signal in an integrated circuit.
(b)
Interpretation:
Whether the conductivity will increase, decrease or remain same when p-type

- Silicic acid, SiO2.xH2O(s), is a weaker acid than carbonic acid,H2CO3(aq). Write a balanced equation for the reactionof carbonic acid with a simple silicate, such as Mg2SiO4(s). Explainhow this reaction is relevant to the reduction of atmospheric carbondioxide levels over geologic time.arrow_forwardFrom the reaction CaCO3+CO2+H2O= Ca2+ + 2HCO3- A.) Show how it affects the chemistry of water, alkalinity and hardness of water B.) Its relationship to microbial degradation of organic matterarrow_forwardThe reaction of divalent manganese with oxygen in aqueous solution is given as follows: Mn2+ + 1/2O2(aq) + H2O = MnO2(s) + 2H+ The equilibrium constant (K) for this reaction is 23.7. It has been found that a lake water sample that contains no oxygen at 25 C, pH = 8.5, originally contained 0.6 mg/L of Mn2+. The sample was aerated (atmospheric conditions of the dissolved oxyen concentration is 9.2 mg/L) and after 10 days of contact with atmospheric oxygen, the Mn2+ concentration was 0.4 mg/L. The molecular weight of Mn is 55, O is 16 and H is 1. The change in free energy of formation at standard conditions (kcal/mole) are as follows: Mn2+ = -54.4, O2(aq) = +3.93, H2O = -56.69, MnO2(s) = -111.1, H+ = 0. (a) Assuming that the pH remains constant during aeration, will the precipitate continue to form after the measurement on the tenth day? (b) What should the Mn2+ concentration be (in moles/L) at equilibrium, assuming that pH and presence of dissolved oxygen are the same as in part "a".…arrow_forward
