Some Basic Concepts Of Chemistry Question 138

Question: Apatite is a mineral that is found in tooth enamel. When fluoride toothpastes are used, this mineral is converted to fluoroapatite, which is more resistant to tooth decay. The formula of apatite is $ Ca _5{{(PO _4)} _{x}}F $ . What is the value of $ x $ if the compound contains 18.45% by weight of phosphorus? (Atomic weight of $ P=31,Ca=40, $ $ F=19 $ and $ O=16 $ )

Options:

A) 2

B) 4

C) 5

D) 3

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

[d] % of $ P=\frac{x\times 31}{5\times 40+31x+64x+19}\times 100=18.45 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ x=3 $
