Moly Cule is also mixing a solution of calcium fluoride (CaF2). If she adds some Aqueous Calcium Oxide (CaO) to the solution, can she eventually get some solid CaF2 to form? What dictates how much Ca2+ and F- are in solution, and how much are in solid CaF2. Since Ca(OH)2 is a strong base and HF is a weak acid, would adding some strong NaOH (another strong base) to the solution cause a precipitate to form? Why or why not?
