Explanation / Answer

1)If the price of silicon is $600 per ton,buyers are willing to buy 80 million ton of silicon.

2)The maximum price buyers are willing to pay for 160 million ton of silicon is 400 per ton.

3)silicon is highly valuable in the production of electronics because of its unique semiconductor proterties. it also has low-value uses ,such as the manufacturing of silly putty,as the price of silicon falls,the quantity demand will lncrease because silicon will require.
