Answer

$n_P = 5.0 \times 10^{21}m^{-3} $

Work Step by Step

The added charge carrier density is $n_P = 10^{-7} n_{Si} $ $n_{Si} = \frac{\rho si N_A}{M_{Si}}$ Where $\rho_Si = 2330 kg/m^3$ $M_{Si} = 0.0281 kg/mol$ $N_A$ is $6.022 \times 10^{23}/mol$ Substitute all the values into equation $n_{Si} = \frac{(2330 kg/m^3)(6.022 \times 10^{23}/mol)}{(0.0281 kg/mol)}$ $n_{Si} = 5.0 \times 10^{28} m^{-3}$ Now find $n_P$ $n_P = 10^{-7} (5.0 \times 10^{28} m^{-3}) $ $n_P = 5.0 \times 10^{21}m^{-3} $
