Answer to Problem 2.5P

The obtained density of silver at 960°C temperature 9.842g/cm3 is less than the density of silver at room temperature.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The density of silver at room temperature is 10.49g/cm3.

The lattice parameter for is 0.4176nm.

Formula used:

Write the expression to find the number of atoms per unit volume.

na=Numberofatomsa3 …… (I)

Here, na is the number of atoms per unit volume and Numberofatoms is the numbers of atoms in a unit cell.

Write the formula to find the density of silver.

ρAg=na×MAgNA …… (II)

Here, ρAg is the density of silver, MAg is the molecular weight of silver, and NA is the Avogadro’s number.

Calculation:

Silver has the Face Centered Cubic (FCC) structure with 4 number of atoms.

Substitute 4atoms for Numberofatoms and 0.4176nm for a in equation (I) to find na.

na=4atoms ( 0.4176nm )3=4atoms ( 0.4176nm× 10 9 m 1nm )3=4atoms0.0728× 10 27m3=54.94×1027atoms/m3

The molecular weight of silver is 107.87×103kg/mole.

Avogadro’s number is 6.02×1023atoms/mole.

Substitute 54.94×1027atoms/m3 for na, 107.87×103kg/mole for MAg and 6.02×1023atoms/mole for NA in equation (II) to find ρAg at temperature 960°C.

ρAg=54.94× 10 27atoms/ m 3×107.87× 10 3kg/mole6.02× 10 23atoms/mole=9.842×103kgm3×( 10 3 g kg)×( 10 6 cm 3 m 3 )=9.842g/cm3

Compare the obtained density of silver at 960°C temperature with the density of silver at room temperature is 10.49g/cm3.

The obtained density of silver is less than the density of silver at room temperature.

Conclusion:

Therefore, the obtained density of silver at 960°C temperature 9.842g/cm3 is less than the density of silver at room temperature.
