Chapter 12, Problem 48E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The effect of increase in temperature on the unit cell length of the crystal and the density of the metal is to be determined.

Conceptual introduction: The volume of the crystal is the whole number multiple of the volume of each unit cell of the crystal.

The density of the crystal is calculated as,

$\text{Density}=\frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}$

To determine: The effect of increase in temperature on the unit cell length of the crystal and the density of the metal.
