— On the assumption that the calcium orthophosphates dissolve stoichiometrically, the solubility of Hap, Fap, DCPD, OCP and TCP , as well as of CaCO 3 and CaF 2 , have been calculated in terms of grams of solid phase per liter under equilibrium conditions. As exemplified in the text, these calculated solubilities facilitate the understanding of the complex behavior of the orthophosphates when in solution.
