The enamel present on teeth becomes much harder due to the conversion of \(\left[3 \mathrm{Ca}_3\left(\mathrm{PO}_4\right)_2, \mathrm{X}\right]\) into \(\left[3 \mathrm{Ca}_3\left(\mathrm{PO}_4\right)_2, \mathrm{Y}\right]\). What are X and Y ?

  1. A \(\mathrm{X}=\mathrm{Ca}(\mathrm{OH})_2, \mathrm{Y}=\mathrm{CaF}_2\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{X}=\mathrm{Ca}(\mathrm{OH})_2, \mathrm{Y}=\mathrm{CaCl}_2\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{X}=\mathrm{Ca}(\mathrm{OH})_2, \mathrm{Y}=\mathrm{NaCl}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{X}=\mathrm{CaO}, \mathrm{Y}=\mathrm{CaCl}_2\)
