To find:
The
a) Does this mean that tooth enamel is more soluble than pure hydroxyapatite
b) Does the measured value of
c) Calculate the solubility in moles per liter of a calcium phosphate,
Answer to Problem 22.64QA
Solution:
a) The tooth enamel is more soluble because it has higher
b) Yes, the measured value of
c) The solubility of calcium phosphate,
Explanation of Solution
1) Concept:
where
To determine which compound is more or less soluble, we need to compare the
2) Formula:
3) Given:
i) Tooth enamel,
ii) Calcium mineral,
iii) Hydroxyapatite,
4) Calculation:
a) Is the tooth enamel more or less soluble than hydroxyapatite?
We are given the
Tooth enamel,
Hydroxyapatite,
The compound with higher
b) The value of
The measured value of
c) The solubility in moles per liter of calcium phosphate,
The dissociation equation for calcium phosphate,
Therefore, the
According to the stoichiometry of the reaction,
Inserting these variables in the
Plug in the value of
Therefore, the solubility of calcium phosphate,
Conclusion:
We compared the
