Tooth enamel is composed of hydroxyapatite, whose simplest formula is Ca51PO423OH, and whose corresponding Ksp = 6.8 * 10-27. As discussed in the Chemistry and Life box on page 746, fluoride in fluorinated water or in toothpaste reacts with hydroxyapatite to form fluoroapatite, Ca51PO423F, whose Ksp = 1.0 * 10-60. (a) Write the expression for the solubility-constant for hydroxyapatite and for fluoroapatite.
A solid sample of Fe1OH23 is added to 0.500 L of 0.250 M aqueous H2SO4. The solution that remains is still acidic. It is then titrated with 0.500 M NaOH solution, and it takes 12.5 mL of the NaOH solution to reach the equivalence point. What mass of Fe1OH23 was added to the H2SO4 solution?
