Germanium forms a substitutional solid solution with silicon. Compute the number of germanium atoms per cubic centimeter for a germanium-silicon alloy that contains 15 wt% Ge and 85 wt% Si. The densities of pure germanium and silicon are 5.32 and 2.33 g/cm3 , respectively.

The number of germanium atoms per cubic centimeter for this germanium-silicon alloy is 3.16 x 10²¹ atoms/cm³.

Explanation:

Concentration of Ge () = 15%

Concentration of Si (C) = 85%

Density of Germanium (ρ) = 5.32 g/cm³

Density of Silicon (ρ) = 2.33 g/cm³

Atomic mass of Ge (A)= 72.64 g/mol

To calculate the number of Ge atoms per cubic centimeter for the alloy, we will use the formula:

No of Ge atoms/cm³=[Avogadro's Number*]/([*A/ρ)+(C*A/ρ)]

                              = (6.02x10²³ * 15%) / [(15% * 72.64/5.32)+(72.64*85%/2.33)]

                              = (9.03x10²²)/(2.048+26.499)

                              = (9.03x10²²)/(28.547)

No of Ge atoms/cm³ = 3.16 x 10²¹ atoms/cm³

the warning light flashes for a second or two when the engine starts. if it stays on, there's must be something wrong with the coolant. you should never dare to continue driving when the light is on. pull over as soon as possible and shut the engine off.

hope this is what you're talking about
