The recommended daily dietary intake of calcium for adult men is 1100 mg/day. Calcium citrate, Ca3(C6H5O7)2 (MW=498.5g/mol). What mass of calcium citrate would be needed to provide the recommended daily intake of calcium?

Solutions

Expert Solution

498.5 g Calcium citrate -------------------> 3 x 40 =120 g Ca

       ?                              ---------------> 1100mg = 1.1g

mass of Calcium citrate required = 1.1 x 498.5 / 120

                                 = 4.57 g

mass of Calcium citrate required   = 4.57 g

                                                       = 4569.6 mg/day

You are considering two different calcium supplements. One contains 1250 mg of Ca3(PO4)2 and the other is 1500 mg of CaCO3. As a good chemist you are interested in the percent mass of calcium in each compound, Ca3(PO4)2 versus CaCO3. Calculate the mass percent of calcium in each compound AND in each supplement serving.
