Will a precipitate of magnesium fluoride form when 300. mL of 1.1 × 10 –3 M MgCl 2 are added to 500. mL of 1.2 × 10 –3 M NaF? [K sp (MgF 2) = 6.9 × 10 –9]

No precipitate is formed.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, given the dissociation reaction of magnesium fluoride:

And the undergoing chemical reaction:

We need to compute the yielded moles of magnesium fluoride, but first we need to identify the limiting reactant for which we compute the available moles of magnesium chloride:

Next, the moles of magnesium chloride consumed by the sodium fluoride:

Thus, less moles are consumed by the NaF, for which the moles of formed magnesium fluoride are:

Next, since the magnesium fluoride to magnesium and fluoride ions is in a 1:1 and 1:2 molar ratio, the concentrations of such ions are:

Thereby, the reaction quotient is:

In such a way, since Q<Ksp we say that the ions tend to be formed, so no precipitate is formed.
