The conversion of hydroxyapatite occurs due to presence of F^- ions in water. The correct formula of hydroxyapatite is:

Option 1 -

$[C a_{3} {(P O_{4})}_{2} . C a F_{2}]$

Option 2 -

$[3 C a_{3} {(P O_{4})}_{2} . C a {(O H)}_{2}]$

Option 3 -

$[3 C a_{3} {(P O_{4})}_{2} . C a F_{2}]$

Option 4 -

$[3 C a {(O H)}_{2} . C a F_{2}]$

Correct Option - 2

Detailed Solution:

Hydroxyapatite is the calcium minerals whose molecular formula is $3 C a_{3} {(P O_{4})}_{2} . C a {(O H)}_{2}$ $_{} {_{}}_{}_{}$ or $C a_{10} {(P O_{4})}_{6} {(O H)}_{2} .$ $_{} {_{}}_{}_{}$ During contact with water dissolved F ion, hydroxyapatite converted into $_{} {_{}}_{}_{}$ $3 C a_{3} {(P O_{4})}_{2} . C a F_{2}$ .
