The aluminum oxide layer on aluminum nanoparticles is about 1.5 nm thick and is relatively independent of diameter. Assuming a shperical nanoparticle, calculate the volume fraction of the particle that is aluminum oxide from a radius of 4-20 nm at 2-nm intervals. Plot the volume fraction of the material that is aluminum oxide. (That's 4-20nm, not 4.2 nm.)

Expert Solution

Let us define

is the diameter of the nanoparticle.

where is the volume of the nanoparticle.

where is the total volume of the nanoparticle with the aluminum oxide layer.

where is the volume of the oxide layer.

Using these equations the following table is made

Where is the desired values.

Plotting these values with radius of nanoparticles we get

X-axis is the diameter in nm and Y-axis is the fraction(desired ratio).

The gut epithelium, which is about 5.5 nm thick, acts as a barrier to drugs. Take for example caffeine, which has a diffusion coefficient in the epithelium equal to 1.1x10^-11 cm2/s. If the concentration of caffeine in the gut is 1x10^-6 moles/cm3, and assuming the concentration inside the body is zero, calculate the flux of caffeine across the gut epithelium. solve in moles/(cm2.s) (b) If the gut surface is 1x10^4 cm2, and assuming that the caffeine flux is maintained at...
