Answer:

The number of vacancies (per meter cube) = 1.41E24 /m³

Explanation:

Given

p = Density of Gold (Au) = 18.45 g/cm³ ----- convert to g/m³

18.45 g/cm³ = 18.45 g/cm³ * 10^6 cm³/m³

= 18.45E6 g/m³

Avogadro's Number = NA = 6.022E23 atoms/mol

Fraction of Vacant lattice of Gold = 2.5E-5

A(Au) = Atomic weight of gold = 196.96657 g/mol.

First, we'll calculate the total number of lattice sites in Gold using

NA * p/A(Au)

= 6.022E23 * 18.45E6 / 196.96657

= 5.6408506275963E28 atoms/m³

Then we multiply the resulting value by the fraction of lattice sites that are vacant in Gold to get the number of vacancies (per meter cube)

The number of vacancies (per meter cube) = 5.6408506275963E28 * 2.5E-5

The number of vacancies (per meter cube) = 1.41E24 /m³

The number of vacancies per meter cubed at 800 °C is; N_v = 14.1 * 10²³ vacancies/m³

What is the number of vacancies?

We are given;

Density; ρ_au = 18.45 g/cm³ = 18.45 * 10⁶ g/m³

Atomic weight of gold; A_au = 196.97 g/mol

Formula for number of lattices is;

N_au = (N_a * ρ_au)/A_au

where N_a = 6.022 * 10²³ atoms/mol

Thus;

N_au = (6.022 * 10²³ * 18.45 * 10⁶)/196.97

N_au = 5.641 * 10²⁸ atoms/m³

The number of vacancies per meter cubed in gold at 800°C, Nv, is determined as follows:

N_v = Equilibrium fraction/N_au

N_v = (2.5 * 10⁻⁵) * (5.641 * 10²⁸)

N_v = 14.1 * 10²³ vacancies/m³
