SUMMARY
The Debye temperature for Carbon-13 can be calculated using the relationship between Debye temperature and mass. Given that Carbon-12 has a Debye temperature of 2230 K, the Debye temperature for Carbon-13 can be derived by considering the mass difference, as the Debye frequency is inversely proportional to the square root of the mass. Specifically, the formula indicates that the Debye temperature is proportional to m^(-1/2), allowing for a straightforward calculation once the mass of Carbon-13 is known.
