Magnesium fluoride, solubility

Properties. Lithium fluoride [7789-24-4] LiF, is a white nonhygroscopic crystaUine material that does not form a hydrate. The properties of lithium fluoride are similar to the aLkaline-earth fluorides. The solubility in water is quite low and chemical reactivity is low, similar to that of calcium fluoride and magnesium fluoride. Several chemical and physical properties of lithium fluoride are listed in Table 1. At high temperatures, lithium fluoride hydroly2es to hydrogen fluoride when heated in the presence of moisture. A bifluoride [12159-92-17, LiF HF, which forms on reaction of LiF with hydrofluoric acid, is unstable to loss of HF in the solid form. 

Many ionic solids are also soluble in water. Magnesium fluoride, however, is an exception. It has a very low solubility in water. 

For magnesium fluoride, Mgp2, = 6.4 X IQ-. (a) Calculate the molar solubihty of magnesium fluoride in pure water, (b) Calculate the molar solubihty of Mgp2 in 0.10 M sodium fluoride, NaF, solution, (c) Compare these molar solubilities. 

Calculate molar solubilities, concentrations of constituent ions, and solubilities in grams per liter for the following compounds at 25°C (a) Cul, copper(I) iodide (b) Baj (604)2, barium phosphate (c) Mgp2, magnesium fluoride (d) 663(604)2, lead(II) phosphate. 

Calcium fluoride has a lower solubility than magnesium fluoride. Eventual production of Cap2 is important in the fluoridation of water. 

Therefore, the solubility product is exceeded and magnesium fluoride precipitates. 

This is well below the solubility product and so the magnesium fluoride will not precipitate out. 

When a salt is added to a solution containing either the same cation or anion, there will be changes in the solubility because of what is commonly known as common-ion effect. This is so because the solubility of the salt added is affected by the common ions which are already present in the solution. Consider a solution of sodium fluoride (NaF). We are adding magnesium fluoride (MgF ) to this solution. Notice that there is a common ion in sodium fluoride and magnesium fluoride, namely fluoride. You will see that the solubility of magnesium fluoride will be less than expected. To be more precise, the solubility... 

Magnesium fluoride is not a very soluble salt. It is a mildly soluble salt, whereas sodium fluoride is a highly soluble salt. Because of the higher solubility of sodium fluoride, there will be a lot of fluoride ions in the solution. This increased fluoride ion concentration in the solution will drive the equilibrium of Equation 1 to the left. Thus the solubility of magnesium fluoride will be highly diminished because of the fluoride ions already present in the solution. 

Use the concept of lattice energy to rationahze why sodium fluoride dissolves in water, whereas calcium fluoride does not. Extending this reasoning, would you e q>ect magnesium fluoride to be soluble ... 

A student measures the molar solubility of magnesium fluoride in a water solution to be 1.19 X 10 M. Based on her data, what is the solubility product constant for this compound ... 

The pigment flakes can typically be manufactured sequentially in a series of specialized roll-coating machines. In the first machine a carrier film, the sorelease layer, is deposited on a moving polymer web (transfer foil). This release layer is soluble in organic solvents so that the later formed multilayer film can be removed from the web at the end of the process. After depositing this release layer, the transfer foil is placed in a vacuum deposition roll coater and the first metal layer (e.g., chromium) as the semitransparent absorber metal is deposited followed by the first dielectric layer (e.g., magnesium fluoride) and the opaque metal layer (e.g., chromium). The second dielectric layer and the second semitransparent absorber...

The likely mechanism of the inhibitive effect of KF on AM-SCl is similar to that for pure magnesium and AZ91D in a fluoride-containing ethylene glycol solution, i.e. fluorides react with magnesium in the matrix of AM-SCl alloy, forming a low-solubility magnesium fluoride product which deposits on the alloy surface and prevents further corrosion attack to the alloy.

Minerals and Ash. The water-soluble extract solids which iafuse from tea leaves contain 10—15% ash. The tea plant has been found to be rich in potassium (24) and contains significant quantities of calcium, magnesium (25), and aluminum (26). Tea beverages are also a significant source of fluoride (27), owing in part to the uptake of aluminum fluoride from soils (28,29).
