Hydroxyapatite, Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2 , has a solubility constant of Ksp = 2.34×10−59 , and dissociates according to Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2(s)↽−−⇀10Ca2+(aq)+6PO3−4(aq)+2OH−(aq) Solid hydroxyapatite is dissolved in water to form a saturated solution. What is the concentration of Ca2+ in this solution if [OH−] is fixed at 1.40×10−6 M ?
