The Yucca Mountain repository in Nevada, which is intended for the long-term storage of nuclear waste, has long been mired in controversy.One ongoing concern is whether the stainless-steel alloy containers could be corroded by salts such as calcium fluoride.If the calcium ion concentration in water inside Yucca Mountain is 1.25*10-3 M, what is the maximum possible concentration of fluoride ion in this water? Assume calcium fluoride Ksp = 2.2 *10-10 at the temperatures inside the nuclear waste depository.
A) 1.8 *10-7 M
B) 1.3 *10-3 M
C) 2.5 * 10-3 M
D) 4.2 * 10- M
E) 2.1 * 10-4 M
