Chapter 8 Problem 8.152

Question

What mass of Ca(NO3)2 must be added to 1.0 L of a 1.0 M HF solution to begin precipitation of CaF2(s)? For CaF2, Ksp 5 4.0 3 10211 and Ka for HF 5 7.2 3 1024. Assume no volume change on addition of Ca(NO3)2(s).

Solution

Step 1 of 6)

The first step in solving 8 problem number 987 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: What mass of Ca(NO3)2 must be added to 1.0 L of a 1.0 M HF solution to begin precipitation of CaF2(s)? For CaF2, Ksp 5 4.0 3 10211 and Ka for HF 5 7.2 3 1024. Assume no volume change on addition of Ca(NO3)2(s).
From the textbook chapter Applications of Aqueous Equilibria you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
