Answer

$m_P = 1.1 \times 10^{-6} g $

Work Step by Step

To know the mass of Phosphorus needed, first find the number of Silicon atoms in 1.0 g. Molar mass of Silicon is 28.086 g/mol. So, Mass of one silicon atom, $m_{0,Si} = \frac{M_{Si}}{N_A}$ $m_{0,Si} = \frac{(28.086 g/mol)}{(6.022 \times 10^{23}/mol)}$ $m_{0,Si} = 4.66 \times 10^{-23}g$ 1.0 g of Silicon contains $N_{Si}$ number of atoms, so $N_{Si} = \frac{m_{Si}}{m_{0,Si}} = \frac{1.0 g}{4.66 \times 10^{-23}g} $ $N_{Si} = 2.14 \times 10^{22} $ From the question, the number density is increased by $ 10^6 $ This means number of phosphorus atoms in 1.0 g is $N_P = \frac{2.14 \times 10^{22}}{1 \times 10^6} $ $N_P = 2.14 \times 10^{16} $ Molar mass of Phosphorus 30.9758 g/mol. Mass of a single Phosphorus atom is $m_{0,P} = \frac{M_{P}}{N_A}$ $m_{0,P} = \frac{30.9758 g/mol}{6.022 \times 10^{23}/mol}$ $m_{0,P} = 5.14 \times 10^{-23}g$ So the mass of Phosphorus needed to add in 1.0 g Silicon is $m_p = (2.14 \times 10^{16} ) ( 5.14 \times 10^{-23}g) $ $m_P = 1.1 \times 10^{-6} g $
