2. An electrochemical cell is composed of pure copper and pure lead electrodes immersed in solutions of their respective divalent ions. a. For a 0.6 M concentration of Cu”, the lead electrode is oxidized yielding a cell potential of +0.508 V. Calculate the concentration of Pb2+ ions if the temperature is 30°C. b. Compute the cell potential at 25°C and 1 M concentration in both half cells. Compare your results with the cell potential in (a). 3. The room temperature electrical conductivity of a silicon specimen is 1000 (-m). The electron concentration is known to be 8.87 x 1021 electron mº. Assuming the electron and hole mobility values are 0.14 m². s and 0.05 m’NV. s, respectively. Note that the density of the silicon is 2.33 g/cm² and its atomic mass is 28.09 g/mol. The electron charge is 1.6 x 10-19 Cand Avogadro's number = 6.023 x 102 atoms/mol. Answer the following questions: (a) Compute the hole concentration. (b) Calculate the number of free electron per atoms. (c) Is the specimen n-type extrinsic, or p-type extrinsic? Why?
