Metal vapor deposition is a process used to deposit a very thin layer of metal on a target substrate. A researcher puts a glass slide in the metal vapor deposition chamber and coats the slide with zirconium. After deposition, the glass slide had increased in mass by 1.94 milligrams. Approximately how many zirconium atoms were deposited on the glass slide?
Zirconium (Zr) has a molar mass of 91.224 g/mol
mass of Zr deposited = 1.94 mg = 1.94 x 10-3 g
moles of Zr deposited = (mass of Zr deposited) / (molar mass of Zr)
moles of Zr deposited = (1.94 x 10-3 g) / (91.224 g/mol)
moles of Zr deposited = 2.13 x 10-5 mol
atoms of Zr deposited = (moles of Zr deposited) * (Avagadro's number)
atoms of Zr deposited = (2.13 x 10-5 mol) * (6.022 x 1023 atoms/mol)
atoms of Zr deposited = 1.28 x 1019 atoms

Problem 4: Read Appendix 2 below (Sec. 1.4.1 of Kasap) and then solve. A metallic back contact is applied to the CdTe solar cell of Problem 1 using a set up similar to that described in Figure 1.74 (b) on the next page. To form the metallic back contact, two evaporation sources are used, Cu and Au. An initial 3 nm layer of Cu is deposited first and then 30 nm of Au is deposited. After these depositions, the sample...
10. Write a one-page summary of the attached paper? INTRODUCTION Many problems can develop in activated sludge operation that adversely affect effluent quality with origins in the engineering, hydraulic and microbiological components of the process. The real "heart" of the activated sludge system is the development and maintenance of a mixed microbial culture (activated sludge) that treats wastewater and which can be managed. One definition of a wastewater treatment plant operator is a "bug farmer", one who controls the aeration...
