Chapter 21, Problem 21.69SP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The energy band for molecular orbital and electron population of a semiconductor has to be drawn.  Also higher electrical conductivity of semiconductor than metallic conductor has to be explained.

Concept introduction:

Semiconductor: A material which can conduct electricity in range between a metal and an insulator is known as semiconductor.  Addition of small amount of impurities increases conductivity of semiconductor and the process is known as doping.  n-type and p-type are two types of doped semiconductors.

n-type: This type of doped semiconductor is the one in which many free electrons are present in conduction band.

p-type: This type of doped semiconductor is the one in which holes are present in conduction band.

Conductor: Any materials which can conducts electricity are known as conductor.  There is no band gap in metallic conductor and electrons can easily travel.

Every chemist knows to ‘add acid to water with constant stirring’ when diluting a concentrated acid in order to keep the solution from spewing boiling acid all over the place.  Explain how this one fact is enough to prove that strong acids and water do not form ideal solutions.
The predominant components of our atmosphere are N₂, O₂, and Ar in the following mole fractions: χN2 = 0.780, χO2 = 0.21, χAr = 0.01. Assuming that these molecules act as ideal gases, calculate ΔGmix, ΔSmix, and ΔHmix when the total pressure is 1 bar and the temperature is 300 K.
dG = Vdp - SdT + μA dnA + μB dnB + ... so that under constant pressure and temperature conditions, the chemical potential of a component is the rate of change of the Gibbs energy of the system with respect to changing composition, μJ = (∂G / ∂nJ)p,T,n' Using first principles prove that under conditions of constant volume and temperature, the chemical potential is a measure of the partial molar Helmholtz energy (μJ = (∂A / ∂nJ)V,T,n')
