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.

- At 90ºC the vapor pressure of ortho-xylene is 20 kPa and that of meta-xylene is 18 kPa. What is the composition of the vapor in equilibrium with a mixture in which the mole fraction of o-xylene is 0.60?arrow_forwardDraw the products of this reduction of a ketone with sodium borohydride. Use a dash or wedge bond to indicate the stereochemistry of substituents on asymmetric centers, where applicableIgnore any inorganic byproducts. 1) NaBH4 2) HCI/H2O Select to Drawarrow_forwardWhy do you think people who live at high altitudes are advised to add salt to water when boiling food like pasta? What mole fraction of NaCl is needed to raise the boiling point of H2O by 3˚C? Does the amount of salt added to water (typically about one teaspoon to four quarts of water) substantially change the boiling point? (Kb (H2O) = 0.51˚C/molal.)arrow_forward
