Estimate the specific heat of the electron gas in copper at 100^(@)C, and compare it with the lattice heat capacity.

Answer»


Solution :The specific heat of a kilomole of electron gas is `C_(m)^(EL)=RkT//2epsi_(F)`, the LATTICE heat is `C_(m)^(LAT)=3R`. We have `C_(m)^(el)//C_(m)^(lat)=kT//6epsi_(F)`.
