Answer

$\frac{N_{v}}{N}=4.41\times 10^{-4}$

Work Step by Step

given that the equilibrium fraction of lattice sites that are vacant in metal at $ 900^\circ$ is ${N_{v}}=2.3 \times 10^{25}m^{-3}$ and $\rho_{m}=7.40$ also$A_{m}=85.5$ Value of N for metal is $N=\frac{\rho_{m}\times N_{m}}{A_{m}}$ $N=\frac{7.40\times 6.023\times 10^{23}}{85.5}$ $N=5.21\times 10^{28}atom.m^{-3}$ now $\frac{N_{v}}{N}=\frac{2.3 \times 10^{25}}{5.21\times 10^{28}}$ $\frac{N_{v}}{N}=4.41\times 10^{-4}$
