In the field of chemistry, one type of chemical is seen by many as something that nobody ever wants to be in a room with: hydrofluoric acid, HF. Only a handful of
chemists in the world utilize HF to perform specific experiments in regards to fluorine
centered chemistry. This fear stems from the scenario of hydrofluoric acid coming in
contact with calcium found in bones. The process in which this occurs is shown in the
balanced chemical equation below:
Ca3(PO4)2 (s) + 6 HF(aq) → 3 CaF2(aq)→ 3 CaF2 (aq) + 2 H3PO4 (aq)
Using your knowledge of periodic trends and ionic activity, create a CER
(Claim - Evidence - Reasoning) why fluorine would rather bind to calcium than
hydrogen as posed in the balance chemical equation above. You must include at
least two pieces of evidence from the periodic table, your scientific notebook, or other

The last few miles of the marathon are the most difficult for heather, her hair plastered to her head, sweat clinging to her arms, and her legs already feeling as if they had nothing left, just dead weight. after grabbing a cup of ice water, she feels the ice cubes smash against her nose as she gulps some cool refreshment and keeps on running. in these last few miles, the breeze kicks up and she finally feels some coolness against her skin. drips of sweat, once clinging to her forehead, now spill down, and heather feels more pain as the sweat flows into her eyes.which of the following is the most likely reason why the ice struck heather’s nose when she took a drink? a) water can function as a solvent. b) water can store large amounts of heat. c) water can moderate temperatures through evaporative cooling. d) the density of water decreases when it freezes. e) water has a cohesive nature.sweat remained on heather’s forehead and arms because of the a) high salt content of sweat b) cohesive nature of water c) ability of water to moderate heat d) high evaporative cooling effect of water e) ability of water to act as a solvent
