To solve the problem, we need to determine how many cuprous ions (Cu^+) are removed when 1/4 mole of cuprous chloride (Cu2Cl2) is crystallized with the addition of 1 millimole of zinc chloride (ZnCl2). We also need to calculate the number of lattice vacancies created in the crystal. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Reaction**: - When zinc chloride (ZnCl2) is added to cuprous chloride (Cu2Cl2), it can lead to the formation of copper(II) ions (Cu^2+) and the removal of cuprous ions (Cu^+). - The reaction can be represented as: \[ ...
