A paramagnetic salt with Nv=2.0×1027N_v=2.0\times10^{27} magnetic ions per cubic metre has measured susceptibility χm=6.2×10−4\chi_m=6.2\times10^{-4} at T=293 KT=293\,\mathrm{K}, a temperature at which the Curie law χm=μ0Nvm2/3kBT\chi_m=\mu_0N_vm^2/3k_BT is known to hold. Find the effective moment per ion in units of the Bohr magneton.
