Tooth enamel is composed of hydroxyapatite, Ca5(PO4)3OH (Ksp = 6.8 10-37). Many water treatment plants add F- ion to drinking water, which reacts with Ca5(PO4)3OH to form the more tooth decay-resistant fluorapatite, Ca5(PO4)3F (Ksp = 1.0 10-60). Fluoridated water has resulted in a dramatic decrease in the number of cavities among children. Calculate the solubility of Ca5(PO4)3F in water.

Some molecular compounds, such as hcl, ionize completely in solution. for molecular compounds such as h2co3, most molecules do not ionize in solution. which describes the properties of these two solutes? a. hcl and h2co3 have the same effect on the properties of the solution. b. hcl raises the freezing point of water more than h2co3 does. c. hcl raises the boiling point of water more than h2co3 does.
