Calcium Phosphate Precipitation (Bone Mineral)

3CaCl₂ + 2Na₃PO₄ → Ca₃(PO₄)₂↓ + 6NaCl

Tổng quan

Calcium chloride reacts with trisodium phosphate to form a white precipitate of calcium phosphate (Ksp = 2.1 × 10⁻³³). Calcium phosphate, particularly the hydroxyapatite form Ca₅(PO₄)₃OH, is the primary mineral component of bones and teeth. It accounts for about 70% of bone mass.

Ví dụ thực tế

Your bones and teeth are built from a form of calcium phosphate. Maintaining adequate calcium and phosphorus intake keeps this mineral being deposited.

Tầm quan trọng công nghiệp

Calcium phosphate is used in bone grafts and dental implants, as a food supplement, in ceramics, and as the raw material for phosphoric acid production.
