Answer

### $14.64 \mathrm{g}$

Explain

## Step1: Determine the moles of $\mathrm{CaF}_2$ in the solution<br />### Use the formula $\text{moles} = M \times V$, where \( M \) is molarity and \( V \) is volume in liters.<br />### Calculation: $0.15 \mathrm{M} \times 1.25 \mathrm{L} = 0.1875 \text{ moles}$<br />## Step2: Calculate the molar mass of $\mathrm{CaF}_2$<br />### Molar mass of $\mathrm{Ca}$ is $40.08 \mathrm{g/mol}$ and $\mathrm{F}$ is $18.998 \mathrm{g/mol}$.<br />### Calculation: $\mathrm{CaF}_2 = 40.08 + 2 \times 18.998 = 78.076 \mathrm{g/mol}$<br />## Step3: Convert moles of $\mathrm{CaF}_2$ to grams<br />### Use the formula $\text{mass} = \text{moles} \times \text{molar mass}$.<br />### Calculation: $0.1875 \text{ moles} \times 78.076 \mathrm{g/mol} = 14.64 \mathrm{g}$
