Solid State Question 249

Question: If $ NaCl $ is doped with $ {{10}^{-3}}mol\ %SrCl_2, $ then the concentration of cation vacancies will be

Options:

A) $ 1\times {{10}^{-3}}mol% $

B) $ 2\times {{10}^{-3}}mol% $

C) $ 3\times {{10}^{-3}}mol% $

D) $ 4\times {{10}^{-3}}mol% $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

As each $ S{{r}^{2+}} $ ion introduces one cation vacancy, therefore concentration of cation vacancies = mol % of $ SrCl_2 $ added.
