Calculate the number of vacancies per cubic meter in iron at 850 °C. The energy for vacancy formation is 1.08 eV/atom. Furthermore, the density and atomic weight for Fe are 7.65 g/cm3 and 55.85 g/mol, respectively.

The number of vacancies per cubic meter is 1.18 X 10²⁴ m⁻³

Explanation:

where;

N is the number of atoms in iron = 6.022 X 10²³ atoms/mol

ρFe is the density of iron = 7.65 g/cm3

AFe is the atomic weight of iron = 55.85 g/mol

Qv is the energy vacancy formation = 1.08 eV/atom

K is Boltzmann constant = 8.62 X 10⁻⁶ k⁻¹

T is the temperature = 850 °C = 1123 k

Substituting these values in the above equation, gives

Therefore, the number of vacancies per cubic meter is 1.18 X 10²⁴ m⁻³
