Answer

a) $[F^-]=1.36\times10^{-3}\ M$ b) $[Ca^{2+}]=1.875\times10^{-6}\ M$

Work Step by Step

a) To accomplish this, the solution must be saturated with BaF2(aq). $Ksp=[Ba^{2+}][F^-]^2$ $1.84\times10^{-7}=0.10\times[F^-]^2$ $[F^-]=1.36\times10^{-3}\ M$ b) $Ksp=[Ca^{2+}][F^-]^2$ $3.45\times10^{-11}=[Ca^{2+}]\times (1.36\times10^{-3})^2$ $[Ca^{2+}]=1.875\times10^{-6}\ M$
