I need help finding out what the product of this equation is :H3PO4 + Ca5(PO4)3(OH)

Phosphoric acid reacts with calcium hydrodixy apetite to produce.....

Edited by remix613

The hydrogen/s in H3PO4 reacts with the OH/s in hydroxyapatite in a 1:1 ratio. That means for every hydrogen ion reacted, a hydroxide ion is reacted. Count how many hydroxides are on each molecule of hydroxyapatite, then count the hydrogens on H3PO4. Once you take away the hydrogen and the hydroxide, add the leftover phosphate to the molecule/s, (forming calcium phosphate) then simplify.
