Rullsten Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Hi, I have a somewhat stupid question. Can sodium fluoride (as used by dentosts) react with carbonic acid (carbonated water) to form hydrogen fluoride? If so how? Like when the dentist puts that fluoride compound on your teeth and then you go home and drink carbonated water. World that work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strange Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 The fact that fluorine is so reactive means that it forms very stable compunds so it would take more than a weak acid like carbonic to separate it from NaF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
