Calcium Fluoride + Calcium Carbonate = ?

Calcium Fluoride + Calcium Carbonate = ?

Answer:
As both are inert, no reaction will take pace.l
No Reaction
CaF2 is a slightly soluble salt Ksp = 5.3 x 10^-9
CaCO3 is a slightly soluble salt Ksp = 2.8 x 10^-9
In any case no reaction occurs because the cation is the same
If the reaction is in solution, the calcium Fluoride will dissociate and become Ca2+ and 2F- but the two chemicals won't react to produce anything new. Calcium carbonate is insoluble.
CaF2 + CaCO3 → Nothing. The only chemicals in which fluoride bonds with calcium, carbon, or oxygen without any other extra chemicals, are calcium fluoride or oxygen fluoride.
They dont react, that is, they remain as inert compounds to each other.
This is due to the fact, that calcium carbonate, has a stable covalent bond between calcium and carbon that forms the carbonate.
Calcium fluodide, has an even stronger covalent bond with the metal (fluor salts with metals are stable.

The only difference is that heath can decompose calcium carbonate ( above 189 centigrades) into CaO + O2
However the response is the same,,,no reaction between calcium fluoride and calcium carbonate...
