Calcium Fluoride Precipitation (Fluorite)

CaCl2 + 2NaF → CaF2↓ + 2NaCl

概要

Calcium chloride reacts with sodium fluoride to precipitate calcium fluoride (Ksp = 3.5 × 10⁻¹¹). CaF₂ occurs naturally as the mineral fluorite (fluorspar), which gives fluorescence its name because fluorite was the first substance observed to fluoresce under UV light.
