Mol% TiO2 is mixed to 99.9 mol% Al2O3 and reacted to form a non-stoichiometric homogeneous solid solution. (3 pt)

(a) Write 3 defect reactions (all TiO2 atoms go into regular sites; all anions go into regular sites; all cations go into regular sites)

(b) Addition of TiO2 to Al2O3 generates defects. Calculate the net variation of mass for each of reactions in (a) in reation to perfect Al2O3 by considering the result of the defect reaction, e. g., Ti substituting for Al (gain of mass mTi – mAl =). Which reaction generates the highest net gain of mass ?

(c) For each defect reaction, write the chemical formula of the solid solution.

mechanics (greek   is that area of science concerned with the behaviour of physical bodies when subjected to forces or displacements, and the subsequent effects of the bodies on their environment. the scientific discipline has its origins in ancient greece with the writings of aristotle and archimedes[1][2][3] (see history of classical mechanics and timeline of classical mechanics). during the early modern period, scientists such as galileo, kepler, and newton laid the foundation for what is now known as classical mechanics. it is a branch of classical physics that deals with particles that are either at rest or are moving with velocities significantly less than the speed of light. it can also be defined as a branch of science which deals with the motion of and forces on objects. the field is yet less widely understood in terms of quantum theory.
