The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the crystallization of AgCl from molten AgCl containing a little CdCl₂, we need to analyze the situation step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Doping Process**: - When AgCl is doped with CdCl₂, the Cd²⁺ ions from CdCl₂ will replace some of the Ag⁺ ions in the crystal lattice of AgCl. 2. **Substitution of Ions**: - Each Cd²⁺ ion has a +2 charge, while each Ag⁺ ion has a +1 charge. To maintain charge neutrality in the crystal lattice, one Cd²⁺ ion will replace two Ag⁺ ions. 3. **Formation of Vacancies**: - When one Cd²⁺ ion replaces two Ag⁺ ions, it creates a vacancy for the Ag⁺ ions that were replaced. Therefore, for every Cd²⁺ ion incorporated into the lattice, one vacancy is created for the Ag⁺ ions. 4. **Counting Vacancies**: - If 'n' is the number of Cd²⁺ ions incorporated into the crystal, then the number of vacancies created will also be 'n' because each Cd²⁺ replaces two Ag⁺ ions but creates only one vacancy. 5. **Conclusion**: - Thus, the solid obtained will have cationic vacancies equal to the number of Cd²⁺ ions incorporated. This leads us to conclude that the correct answer is option A: "Cationic vacancies equal to the number of Cd²⁺ ions incorporated." ### Final Answer: The solid obtained will have cationic vacancies equal to the number of Cd²⁺ ions incorporated. ---
