Answer:

6.4 × 10^-10 M

Explanation:

The molar solubility of the ions in a compound can be calculated from the Ksp (solubility constant).

CaF2 will dissociate as follows:

CaF2 ⇌Ca2+ + 2F-

1 mole of Calcium ion (x)

2 moles of fluorine ion (2x)

NaF will also dissociate as follows:

NaF ⇌ Na+ + F-

Where Na+ = 0.25M

F- = 0.25M

The total concentration of fluoride ion in the solution is (2x + 0.25M), however, due to common ion effect i.e. 2x<0.25, 2x can be neglected. This means that concentration of fluoride ion will be 0.25M

Ksp = {Ca2+}{F-}^2

Ksp = {x}{0.25}^2

4.0 × 10^-11 = 0.25^2 × x

4.0 × 10^-11 = 0.0625x

x = 4.0 × 10^-11 ÷ 6.25 × 10^-2

x = 4/6.25 × 10^ (-11+2)

x = 0.64 × 10^-9

x = 6.4 × 10^-10

Therefore, the molar solubility of CaF2 in NaF solution is 6.4 × 10^-10M

If an object moves in uniform circular motion in a circle of radius R=2.00 meters, and the object takes 5.00 seconds to

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

The centripetal acceleration of the object is $315.5\ m/s^2$ .

Explanation:

We have,

Radius of a circular path is 2 m

It takes 5 seconds to complete 10 revolutions. It means its angular velocity is :

$\omega=\dfrac{\Delta \theta}{\Delta t}\\\\\omega=\dfrac{2\pi \times 10}{5}\\\\\omega=12.56\ rad/s$

The centripetal acceleration of the object is given by :

$a=\omega^2 r\\\\a=(12.56)^2 \times 2\\\\a=315.5\ m/s^2$

So, the centripetal acceleration of the object is $315.5\ m/s^2$ .

Suppose you are trying to find the identity of an unknown pure substance. The valence electrons of the substance's atoms feel an

Vika [28.1K]

Answer: Correct option is (D).

Explanation:

Given that unknown element has larger atomic radii than potassium atoms and its valence electrons feel an effective nuclear charge of +1 which means that this unknown element belongs to group(I) of the periodic table.

In periodic table:

As we move down the group the value of ionization energy decreases down the group. This is due to increase in the size of an element.With increase in size valence electrons gets far away from the nucleus by which less energy will require to ionize the element.
Electronegative characters also decreases when we move down the group.This is due to increase in size of an element by which electrons present in valence shells are far away from the nucleus.

So,It would have lower ionization energies than K and a lower electronegativity value than K.

What type of bond will form between calcium (Ca) and fluorine (F)

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

Ionic

Explanation:

Calcium is present in group two. It has two valance electrons. It loses its two electrons to get complete octet.

Fluorine is present in group seventeen. It has seven valance electrons. It needed just one electrons to complete the octet. That's why two fluorine atoms are bonded with one calcium atom.

When both react with each other ionic compound is formed between them because of large electronegativity difference. The electronegativity of fluorine is 3.98 and for calcium is 1. There is large difference is present. That's why electrons from calcium is transfer to the fluorine. Calcium becomes positive and fluorine becomes negative ion. Both atoms are bonded together electrostatic attraction occur between anion and cations.
