1. Calcium fluoride (fluorspar or fluorite) is a partially
soluble ionic compound used in metallurgy, particularly
in aluminum and steel production. When placed in
water, the solid is in equilibrium with its ions.
a. Write a balanced equation to show this
equilibrium.
b. What happens to the position of equilibrium if
soluble calcium chloride is added to the solution
of calcium fluoride?
C. What will happen to the equilibrium concentration
of F- when calcium chloride is added?
