Chapter 12: Q35P (page 509)
The interatomic spring stiffness for tungsten is determined from Young鈥檚 modulus measurements to be 90 N. The mass of one mole of tungsten is 0185 kg . If we model a block of tungsten as a collection of atomic 鈥渙scillators鈥 (masses on springs), note that since each oscillator is attached to two 鈥渟prings,鈥 and each 鈥渟pring鈥 is half the length of the interatomic bond, the effective interatomic spring stiffness for one of these oscillators is 4 times the calculated value given above.Use these precise values for the constants: (Planck鈥檚 constant divided by 2蟺), Avogadro鈥檚 number = , (the Boltzmann constant). (a) What is one quantum of energy for one of these atomic oscillators? (b) Figure 12.56 contains the number of ways to arrange a given number of quanta of energy in a particular block of tungsten. Fill in the blanks to complete the table, including calculating the temperature of the block. The energy E is measured from the ground state. Nothing goes in the shaded boxes. Be sure to give the temperature to the nearest 0.1 kelvin. (c) There are about 60 atoms in this object. What is the heat capacity on a per-atom basis? (Note that at high temperatures the heat capacity on a per-atom basis approaches the classical limit of 3kB = 4.2脳10鈭23 J/K/atom.)

Short Answer
a) the energy of the one quantum of energy is .
b) The table is given below.

c) The specific heat capacity per atom is .
