Ceramic density computation.

It is possible to access the bulk density of a porous ceramic sample by the archimedes method either by immersing a coated sample in a wetting liquid. To compute for theoretical density of ceramics five essential parameters are needed and these parameters are number of formula units in unit cell n sum of atomic weights of atoms σa c sum of atomic weights of anions σa a unit cell volume v c and avogadro s number n a. Or by immersing the uncoated sample in a non. Ceramic density computation a c a v n n a a c σ σ ρ number of formula units unit cell volume of unit cell n number of cations in unit cell ac atomic weight of cation na number of anions in unit cell aa atomic weight of anion vc volume of unit cell na avogadro s number.

The calculation of the density of this solid solution is more difficult than the previous calculations because the chemical formula must be determined before the formula mass can be calculated.
