2. Enamel, the hard outer covering of a tooth, is composed of a network of calcium ions (Ca"-), phosphate ions
(PO4³), and hydroxide ions (OH'), called hydroxyapatite. The hydroxide ion in hydroxyapatite structure can
be replaced by fluoride ions (F) during the brushing of teeth: hence, fluorapatite is produced.
a. If hydroxyapatite cortains 38.39% Ca, 18.50% P, 41.41% O, and 0.20% H; and its molar mass is
1004 g/mol, what is the molecular formula?
