1994 A MgF 2(s) Mg 2+ (aq) + 2F - (aq) In a saturated solution of MgF 2 at 18 degrees Celsius, the concentration of Mg 2+ is 1.21x10 3 molar. The equilibrium is represented by the equation above. a)Write the expression for the solubility-product constant, K sp, and calculate its value at 18 degrees Celsius.  K sp = [Mg 2+ ] [F - ] 2  [F - ] = 2(1.21x10 -3 )  K sp = (1.21x10 -3 )(2.42x10 -3 ) 2 = 7.09x10 -9

1994 A MgF 2 (s) Mg F - (aq) In a saturated solution of MgF 2 at 18 degrees Celsius, the concentration of Mg 2+ is 1.21x10 3 molar. The equilibrium is represented by the equation above. c)Predict whether a precipitate of MgF 2 will form when milliliters of a 3.00x10 -3 molar Mg(NO 3 ) 2 solution is mixed with milliliters of a 2.00x10 -3 molar NaF solution at 18 degrees Celsius. Calculations to support your prediction must be shown. Set up the equilibrium law and calculate (did in a) –Ksp=7.09x10 9 Calculate ion product –(3.00x10 -3 )(2.00x10 -3 ) 2 =1.2x10 -8 Compare ion product with K sp –If the ion product > Ksp, the solution is supersaturated, and precipitate will form. –If the ion product is < or = to the Ksp, no precipitate will form. –1.2x10 -8 < 7.09x10 9 No precipitate

1994 A MgF 2 (s) Mg F - (aq) In a saturated solution of MgF 2 at 18 degrees Celsius, the concentration of Mg2+ is 1.21x10 3 molar. The equilibrium is represented by the equation above. d)At 27 degrees the concentration of Mg 2+ in a saturated solution of MgF 2 is 1.17x10 -3 molar. Is the dissolving of MgF 2 in water an endothermic or an exothermic process? Give an explanation to support your conclusion Equilibrium shifts to the left when temperature increases –Heat must be a product Exothermic if heat is a product
