Question:medium

A sample of water has no fluoride (F) ions in it. What is the maximum limit (in $mg~L^{-1}$) of soluble fluoride salt to be added to this water to convert it into safe drinking water?

Show Hint

Too little fluoride causes dental problems, while excessive fluoride causes fluorosis. Safe drinking water generally contains about: \[ 1-2~mgL^{-1} \] fluoride ions.
