Does boiling water effectively remove fluoride and chlorine"?

Boiling water does not effectively remove fluoride and chlorine.


Why calcium fluoride has a higher melting point than chlorine fluoride?

Calcium fluoride has a higher melting point than chlorine fluoride because the calcium ion has a higher charge density than the chlorine ion, leading to stronger electrostatic forces of attraction between the calcium and fluoride ions in the lattice structure. This results in a greater amount of energy required to break these bonds, leading to a higher melting point for calcium fluoride compared to chlorine fluoride.


Does boiling water effectively remove chlorine and fluoride"?

Boiling water can remove some chlorine, but not fluoride. Chlorine evaporates when water is boiled, reducing its presence. However, fluoride remains in the water even after boiling.


Why calcium fluoride has higher melting point than Chlorine fluoride?

Calcium fluoride has a higher melting point than chlorine fluoride because calcium fluoride has stronger ionic bonds due to the higher charge of calcium ion compared to the chlorine ion. This leads to greater electrostatic attraction between the ions in calcium fluoride, resulting in a higher melting point.


Will chlorine and potassium fluoride react?

Yes, chlorine and potassium fluoride can react to form potassium chloride and fluorine gas in the presence of water or under specific conditions. This reaction is typically highly exothermic and should be conducted with caution.


Is chlorine fluoride a ionic or molecular?

Chlorine fluoride is a molecular compound. It consists of covalent bonds between the chlorine and fluorine atoms, rather than ionic bonds typically found in compounds composed of a metal and a nonmetal.
