(a)
Interpretation:
The percentage of spherical atoms on surface of the cubic nanoparticle of edge-length
Concept introduction:
Nanotechnology is a field that studies the atoms and molecules on the nano-scale. Nano is a prefix used for
In the nano regime, the properties of compounds change drastically from that of bulk. These unique properties of nanoparticles are due to the higher ratio of surface area to volume and charge to mass.

- Consider Copper (Cu), Silver (Ag), Silicon (Si), Aluminum oxide (Al2O3), silicon carbide (SiC), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Please select the correct answers. (There may be more than 1 correct answer!). (a) Cu and Ag are metal and have metallic bonding. Si, and Al2O3 are ceramic. PVC is polymer. (b) Cu, Ag and Si are metal. Cu and Ag have metallic bonding, but Si has covalent bonding. SiC and Al2O3 are ceramic with covalent and ionic bonding, respectively. (c) Electrical conductivity: Ag > Cu > Si > Al2O3 > PVC (d) Cu and Ag have FCC structure. Si and SiC have diamond-type structure.arrow_forwardIn making computer chips, a 4.00-kg cylindrical ingot ofultrapure n-type doped silicon that is 5.20 inches in diameter issliced into wafers 1.12X10⁻⁴m thick.(a) Assuming no waste, how many wafers can be made?(b) What is the mass of a wafer (dof Si =2.34 g/cm³; Vof acylinder =πr²h)?(c) A key step in making p-n junctions for the chip is chemicalremoval of the oxide layer on the wafer through treatment withgaseous HF.

Why is the placement of the thermometer is important during distillation?arrow_forwardOne way the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tests for chloride contaminants in water is by titrating a sample of silver nitrate solution. Any chloride anions in solution will combine with the silver cations to produce bright white silver chloride precipitate. Suppose an EPA chemist tests a 200. mL sample of groundwater known to be contaminated with iron(III) chloride, which would react with silver nitrate solution like this: FeCl3(aq) + 3 AgNO3(aq) 3 AgCl(s) + Fe(NO3),(a9) The chemist adds 56.0 mM silver nitrate solution to the sample until silver chloride stops forming. She then washes, dries, and weighs the precipitate. She finds she has collected 2.8 mg of silver chloride. Calculate the concentration of iron(III) chloride contaminant in the original groundwater sample. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits. mg L Submit Assignment Continue Accessibility Privacy O 2020 McGraw-Hill Education. All Rights Reserved.
