Germanium crystallizes with the diamond type of structure. Calculate the density of germanium, Ge. (Atomic mass, 72.6 g/mol; a = 5.66 Ă…; Z = 8)
Added by Jacqueline W.
Step 1
First, we need to convert the lattice constant (a) from angstroms to centimeters. 1 Å = 1 x 10^-8 cm, so a = 5.66 x 10^-8 cm. Show more…

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.

Germanium forms a substitutional solid solution with silicon. Compute the weight percent of germanium that must be added to silicon to yield an alloy that contains $2.43 \times 10^{21} \mathrm{Ge}$ atoms per cubic centimeter. The densities of pure Ge and $\mathrm{Si}$ are 5.32 and $2.33 \mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cm}^{3}$ respectively .
Germanium has a face-centered cubic unit cell. The density of germanium is 5.32 g/cm3. Calculate a value for the atomic radius of germanium. pm
