Chapter 3, Problem 3.109PAE
3.109 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 he represented by the formula Zn0.843Cd0.157O. (These materials are solid solutions, and so they can have variable compositions. The noninteger coefficients do not imply fractional atoms.) Express the composition of this alloy in terms of (a) at%, (b) mol%, and (c) wt%.
