 ### Exercise 3: Total heat capacity of a diatomic material
 
-Naturally occurring lithium has [two stable isotopes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_lithium): $^6$Li  (7.5%) and $^7$Li (92.5%). Let us extend the Einstein model to take into account the different masses of different isotopes.
+We consider a crystal of lithium, which consists of the [two stable isotopes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_lithium) $^6$Li (7.5%) and $^7$Li (92.5%) in their natural abundance. Let us extend the Einstein model to take into account the different masses of these different isotopes.
 
-1. Assume that the strength of the returning force $k$ experienced by each atom is the same. What is the difference in the oscillation frequencies of different isotopes of lithium in the lithium crystal?
-2. Write down the total energy of lithium assuming that all $^6$Li atoms are in $n=2$ vibrational state, and all $^7$Li atoms are in $n=4$ vibrational state.
-3. Write down the total energy of lithium at a temperature $T$ by modifying the Einstein model.
-4. Compute the heat capacity of lithium as a function of $T$.
