Question

A well is dug in a bed of rock containing fluorspar (CaF2). If the well contains 20000 L of water, what is the amount of F- in it ? Ksp = 4 × 10-11 (101/3 = 2.15)

Options

A.4.3 mol
B.6.8 mol
C.8.6 mol
D.13.6 mol

Solution

CaF2(s)  Ca2+     +     2F-
                s        2s
        4s3 = Ksp = 4 × 10-11   ⇒   s = 2.15 × 10-4 M
So, amount of F- in 20000 lt of water = 2s × 20000 = 8.6 mol.
