Hydroxylapatite, Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2, has a solubility constant of Ksp = 2.34 x 10^-59. Solid hydroxylapatite is dissolved in water

to form a saturated solution. What is the concentration of Ca+2 in this solution if [OH-] is somehow fixed at 5.30 x 10-6 M?

Answer:

The concentration of [Ca²⁺] is 8.47 x 10⁻³ M

Explanation:

We consider the solubility of hydroxyapatite,

Ca₁₀(PO₄)₆(OH)₂ ⇔ 10Ca²⁺ + 6PO₄³⁻ + 2 OH⁻

Assumed that there is <em>a</em> mol of hydoxyapatite disolved in water, yielding <em>10a</em> mol Ca²⁺ of  and <em>6a</em> mol of PO₄³⁻

We also have Ksp equation,

Ksp = [Ca²⁺]¹⁰ x [PO₄³⁻]⁶ x [OH⁻]² = 2.34 x 10⁻⁵⁹

     ⇔  10a¹⁰ x 6a⁶ x (5.30 x 10⁻⁶)² = 2.24 x 10⁻⁵⁹

     ⇔  60a¹⁶                                    = 2.24 x 10⁻⁵⁹ / 5.30 x 10⁻¹²

     ⇔  a¹⁶                                         = 0.007 x 10⁻⁴⁷ = 7 x 10⁻⁵⁰

     ⇔  a                                           = \sqrt[16]{7 . 10^{-50} } =  8.47 x 10⁻⁴

Hence,

[Ca²⁺] = 10<em>a</em> = 8.47 x 10⁻³ M

Why does the moon and the earth have the same mass
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

Moon rocks contain few volatile substances (e.g. water), which implies extra baking of the lunar surface relative to that of Earth. The relative abundance of oxygen isotopes on Earth and on the Moon are identical, which suggests that the Earth and Moon formed at the same distance from the Sun.
