The given hydroxyapatite [ C a 5 ( P O 4 ) 3 O H ] chemical function should be determined. Concept Introduction: Strength of acid The degree to which an acid produces hydrogen ion determines the strength of an acid. In other words, it refers to the tendency or ability of an acid to lose a proton. The strength of all the acids will not be same. The strength of an acid is measurable. Based on the strength of the acid, acids can be classified as strong acids and weak acids. Acids ionize in water. Strong acids ionize completely whereas weak acids ionize to some limited extent. Strong acids: In strong acids, the ionization of acid is complete. This implies that the concentration of the hydrogen ion or hydronium ion will be equal to the initial concentration of the acid at equilibrium. Weak acids: In weak acids, the ionization of acid is not complete. This implies that the concentration of the hydrogen ion or hydronium ion will not be equal to the initial concentration of the acid at equilibrium. For strong acids the concentration of acid will be same as that of the concentration of hydrogen ions, because strong acids undergo complete ionization. In case of weak acid, the concentration of hydrogen ion will be less than the concentration of given acid; since weak acid does not ionize completely

Concept Introduction:
Strength of acid
The degree to which an acid produces hydrogen ion determines the strength of an acid.
In other words, it refers to the tendency or ability of an acid to lose a proton. The strength of all the acids will not be same. The strength of an acid is measurable.
Based on the strength of the acid, acids can be classified as strong acids and weak acids.
Acids ionize in water. Strong acids ionize completely whereas weak acids ionize to some limited extent.
Strong acids:
In strong acids, the ionization of acid is complete. This implies that the concentration of the hydrogen ion or hydronium ion will be equal to the initial concentration of the acid at equilibrium.
Weak acids:
In weak acids, the ionization of acid is not complete. This implies that the concentration of the hydrogen ion or hydronium ion will not be equal to the initial concentration of the acid at equilibrium.
For strong acids the concentration of acid will be same as that of the concentration of hydrogen ions, because strong acids undergo complete ionization.
In case of weak acid, the concentration of hydrogen ion will be less than the concentration of given acid; since weak acid does not ionize completely

a) Under acidic conditions, H3PO4 can be reduced into H3PO3 directly (-0.28V), or via the
formation and reduction of H4P206 (-0.93/+0.38V). Calculate the values of AG's for both
processes; comment.
