For some hypothetical metal, the equilibrium number of vacancies at 900c is 2.3 1025 m3. if the density and atomic weight of this metal are 7.40 g/cm3 and 85.5 g/mol, respectively, calculate the fraction of vacancies for this metal at 900c.

Hey there!

The number of vacancies per unit volume =>  ( Nv = 2.3*10²⁵ m⁻³ )

Avogrado's number =>  ( NA = 6.022*10²³ atoms/mol )

Density of material ( p )  in g/m³ :

1 g/cm³ = 1000000 g/m³ so:

7.40  * ( 1000000 ) = 7.40*10⁶ g/m³

Atomic mass = 85.5 g/mol

* Calculate the number of atomic sites per unit volume :

N = NA * p / A

N = ( 6.022*10²³ ) * ( 7.40*10⁶ ) / 85.5

N = 4.45*10³⁰ / 85.5

N = 5.212*10²⁸ atoms/m³

Therefore:

Calculate the fraction of vacancies :

Fv =  Nv / N

Fv = 2.3*10²⁵ / 5.212*10²⁸

FV = 4.441*10⁻⁴

Hope that helps!
