Thermodynamic properties of a metal

A monovalent metal has a simple cubic Bravais lattice and a lattice constant of a = 0.15 nm. Calculate the chemical potential, the specific heat, the entropy, and the Helmholtz free energy of the electrons at temperatures of 10 K and 300 K assuming that the free electron model can be used.
