Question

Can you explain this problem in detail? And where does the 2+ From Ca came from and how do you find it.

Will a precipitate form when 50.0 mL of 2.0 x 10-2 M NaF is mixed with 10.0 mL of
1.0 × 10 2 M Ca(NO3)2? Ksp = 3.9 ×10-11
Solution
We must get the Molarities of the principal ions that will lead to the precipitation.
Neither Na+ nor NO3 will precipitate, so we're left with Ca2+ and F as the ions that will form
the precipitate.
moles Ca2+ = 0.010 L x 0.010 M = 1.0 × 10-4 moles Ca2+
moles F= 0.050 L x 0.020 M = 1.0 x 10-3 moles F-
total volume = 50.0 mL + 10.0 mL = 60.0 mL
1.0 × 10-4 mol
[Ca2+] =
1.0 x 10-3 mol
= 1.67 x 103 M
[F] =
= 1.67 x 10-2
0.060 L
0.060 L
CaF2 (s) -
Ca2+ (aq)
+
2F- (aq)
4.6 x 10-7
Qsp = [Ca2+] [F]² = (1.67 x 10-3) (1.67 x 10-2)²
Thus: Qsp > Ksp, and a precipitate WILL form!!
