Hydroxyapatite is the primary constituent of tooth enamel andis the hardest substance in the human body.Addition of F- to drinking water convertsHydroxyapatite to Fluoroapatite, (Ca5(PO4)3F.the Ksp of Hydroxyapatite, (Ca5(PO4)3F is 6.8 X 10-37 and the Ksp for Fluoroapatite is 1 X 10-60. [Other pertinent K values can be found elsewhere (i.e. onlineor in textbooks) if necessary]
a)A) Write aseries of equilibrium expressions, a mass balance charge and acharge balance representing the complete reaction of thehydroxyapatite, including the solubility, and the further reactionof phosphate with water.
b)B) Write aseries of equilibrium expressions, a mass balance charge and acharge balance representing the complete reaction of thehydroxyapatite, including the solubility, and the further reactionof phosphate and Fluoride with water.
c)C) Calculatethe [Ca+2] in a saturated solution ofhydroxyapatite buffered at pH = 6.5, assuming further reaction ofPO4-3
d)D) Calculatethe [Ca+2] in a saturated solution ofFluoroapatite buffered at pH = 6.5, assuming further reaction withwater occur.
e)E) Comment ofthe significance of the results of part (C) and (d). why do youthis it is a good idea to fluoridate drinking water?
f)F) Write aseries of equilibrium expressions, a mass balance and a chargebalance representing the complete reaction of 0.01 M H4EDTA
g)G) Calculatethe [Ca+2] in a saturated solution ofhydroxyapatite containing 0.01M H4EDTABuffered at 6.5.
h)H) Calculatethe [Ca+2] in a saturated solution ofFluoroapatite containing 0.01M H4EDTABuffered at 6.5.
i)I) Smallamounts of EDTA are used as preservative in some foods. Comment onwhy this might not be a good idea
