Expert Solution
Step 1

CaF2 is a sparingly soluble salt and can be partially dissociated as:

CaF2Ca2++2F-

If the concentration of calcium fluoride is x M, then we can have the following relation:

CaF2Ca2++2F-                 x M       2x M

According to the definition of solubility product, we have

Ksp=Ca2+F-2

Again, we can write

Ksp=(x)×(2x)2or,Ksp=4x3

This will be the final expression of solubility product for CaF2
