Iv been given a question which i am having great difficulty calculating.
Calculate the equilibrium number of vacancies in 10cm^3 of copper which is at 800 degrees celsius. The atomic mass of copper is 63.54 g/mol. Assume the density of the copper at this temperature is 8g/cm^3, and its energy for vacancy formation is 0.90 eV/atom.
Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.
