AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem regarding the addition of CaCl₂ crystal to KCl crystal, we need to analyze the effects of this addition on the density of the KCl crystal and the resulting structural changes. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Initial Structure**: - KCl is a crystalline solid composed of K⁺ and Cl⁻ ions arranged in a face-centered cubic (FCC) lattice. Each unit cell contains 4 formula units of KCl, contributing to its density. **Hint**: Recall that the density of a crystal is determined by the mass of the ions in the unit cell and the volume of the unit cell. ...
