6-2.Equilibrium-II (Ionic Equilibrium)
medium
If $K_{sp}$ of $CaF_2$ at $25\,^oC$ is $1.7 \times 10^{-10}$, the combination amongst the following which gives a precipitate of $CaF_2$ is
A
$1 \times 10^{-2}\, M\,\, Ca^{2+}$ and $1 \times 10^{-5}\, M\,\, F^-$
B
$1 \times 10^{-4}\, M\,\, Ca^{2+}$ and $1 \times 10^{-4}\, M\,\, F^-$
C
$1 \times 10^{-3}\, M\,\, Ca^{2+}$ and $1 \times 10^{-5}\, M\,\, F^-$
D
$1 \times 10^{-2}\, M\,\, Ca^{2+}$ and $1 \times 10^{-3}\, M\,\, F^-$
Solution
The precipitate will form only when
Ionic product $>$ Solubility product
CaF $_{2}$ dissociates as follows
Thus, ionic product $=\left[10^{-2}\right]\left[10^{-3}\right]^{2}$
$=10^{-2} \times 10^{-6}=10^{-8}$
This value is greater than $K_{\text {sp }},$ ie,
$1.7 \times 10^{-10},$ so ppt will form.
