Material Sheet Solution CH 4

This document discusses imperfections in solids such as vacancies. It provides solutions to calculations of: 1) The fraction of vacant atom sites in copper at its melting temperature. 2) The number of vacancies per cubic meter in gold at 900°C. 3) The energy for vacancy formation in silver given the equilibrium number of vacancies at 1073K. It also calculates the composition in weight percent of an alloy consisting of 5 atomic percent copper and 95 atomic percent platinum.
