-9 Silicon used in computer chips must have an impurity level below 10 (that is, fewer than one impurity atom for every 10 atoms). Silicon has a diamond crystal structure. Each cubic unit cell (edge length a=543 pm) contains eight Si atoms. If there are 1.8 x 10¹3 boron atoms per cubic centimeter in a sample of pure silicon, what is the ratio B atoms ? Round your answer to 2 significant digits. Si atoms B atoms Si atoms =
Thermochemistry
Thermochemistry can be considered as a branch of thermodynamics that deals with the connections between warmth, work, and various types of energy, formed because of different synthetic and actual cycles. Thermochemistry describes the energy changes that occur as a result of reactions or chemical changes in a substance.
Exergonic Reaction
The term exergonic is derived from the Greek word in which ‘ergon’ means work and exergonic means ‘work outside’. Exergonic reactions releases work energy. Exergonic reactions are different from exothermic reactions, the one that releases only heat energy during the course of the reaction. So, exothermic reaction is one type of exergonic reaction. Exergonic reaction releases work energy in different forms like heat, light or sound. For example, a glow stick releases light making that an exergonic reaction and not an exothermic reaction since no heat is released. Even endothermic reactions at very high temperature are exergonic.
