The corrosion of stainless steel containers in the proposed Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository in Nevada is a potential problem. One potentially corrosive ion is fluoride, which appears to be removed from solution by precipitation as calcium fluoride. In test measurements, the concentration of calcium ion was found to be 0.00112 M, and the concentration of fluoride ion was found to be 0.0238 g/L. What is the minimum value for Ksp for calcium fluoride based on these measurements ? Use units of moles and liters in your calculation
The corrosion of stainless steel containers in the proposed Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository in Nevada?
if calcium ion is 0.00112 M, %26amp; fluoride ion is 0.0238 g/L @ 1 mole / 19.0 grams = 0.001253M
CaF2 %26lt;--%26gt; Ca %26amp; 2F
Ksp = [Ca][F]^2
= [0.00112][0.001253]^2
= 1.76e-9
----------------
must be HOT, because the Ksp @ 25 Celsius is supposed to be 3.93-11... which means that nevada has about twice in solution as normal @ 25C
