Which of the following is TRUE about the solubility of $$CaF_2 in 0.10 M$$ $$NaF$$ compared to pure water?

Accepted Answer

The solubility of $$CaF_2 is $$lower in 0.10 M $$NaF$$ due to the common-ion effect.

Question 14

Which of the following best explains why the pH of a 1.0 M $$HCl$$ solution is not exactly 0?

Accepted Answer

Activity effects and ion pairing cause deviations from ideality at high concentrations.
