Mineral precipitation results from a local rise in the degree of saturation of calcium and phosphate ions because:

Question

Accepted Answer

An increase in the pH of the saliva cause precipitation of calcium and phosphate ions by lowering of precipitation constant.

Answer

A decrease in the pH of the saliva cause precipitation of calcium and phosphate ions.

Answer

A decrease in pH of saliva lowers precipitation constant leading to precipitation of calcium and phosphate ion.

Answer

An increase in the pH of saliva increases precipitation constant leading to precipitation of calcium and phosphate ions.

Answer

An increase in the pH of saliva with no effect on precipitation constant.
