The addition of `CaCl_(2)` crystal to `KCl` crystal
a. Lowers the density of the `KCl` crystal
b. Raises the density of the `KCl` crystal
c. Does not affect the density of the `KCl` crystal
d. Increases the Frenkel defects of the `KCl` crystal

A

lowers the density of the KCl crystal

B

raises the density of the KCl crystal

C

does not affect the density of the KCl crystal

D

increases the Frenkel defects of the KCl crystal

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

One `Ca^(2+)` lets two `K^(+)` leave the crystal to maintain the electrical neutrality of the compound
The Mass of two `K^(+)` is greater than the mass of `Ca^(2+)` hence density decreases.
