Molar Mass of SiH4 in Gas Mixture

(1) For a gas mixture of 40% SiH4 and 60% H2 by mole: - The weight fractions are 0.941 for SiH4 and 0.059 for H2 - The average molecular weight is 14.06 kg/kmole - The molar concentration of SiH4 is 0.427 mole/m3 (2) Helium is stored in a spherical Pyrex container. The rate of mass loss from the container needs to be calculated using the given temperature, pressure, diameter and wall thickness.

In the manufacture of microelectronic devices, a thin film of solid silicon (Si) is
uniformly deposited on a wafer surface by the chemical decomposition of silane (SiH4)
in the presence of H2 gas. If the gas composition is maintained at 40 mol % SiH4 and
60 mol % H2, determine

a. the weight fraction of these species


b. the average molecular weight of the gas mixture
c. the molar concentration, cA , of SiH4 if the feed gas is maintained at 900 K and
a system pressure of 60 torr.

Helium gas at 25 and 4 bars is stored in a spherical Pyrex container of 200-mm


inside diameter and 10-mm thickness. What is the rate of mass loss from the container?

H2 = = 0.086
14.06
(b) Average molecular weight = total weight per 1 mole = 14.06 kg/ kmole
(c) At 900K and 60 torr,
