Detailed Solution

In NaCl lattice, Cl- ions forms FCC and Na+ ions are present at edge centers and body center.

Number of Na+ ions present = 14×12=3

Now, charge on Al3+= +3 and charge on Na+= 1.

So, each Al3+ion will replace 3Na+ions and two vacant sites will be created.

Now, 3/4 moles of Na+ ions will be replaced by 1/4 moles of Al3+ions to maintain electrical neutrality. Now, remaining 1/4 moles of Na+ ions and 1/4 moles of Al3+ion will occupy 1/2 moles of lattice sites.

So, Number of vacancies = 12moles=12×6.023×1023=3.0115×1023
