Abstract
In the present work, hydrolysis reactions of sodium hexafluorosilicate (Na2SiF6) and sodium hexafluorostannate (Na2SnF6) were studied at various combinations of pH and calcium ion (Ca2+) concentrations using a quasi-constant composition titration method. Under high concentrations of hydrogen ion (H+) and Ca2+, the promoting effect of Ca2+ on the hydrolysis of Na2SiF6 was stronger than the inhibition effect of H+. However, the inhibition effect of H+ on the hydrolysis of Na2SnF6 was stronger than the promoting effect of Ca2+. Na2SiF6 and Na2SnF6 were found to have hydrolysis properties that may make them suitable for use with an acidic calcium phosphate solution in a topical fluoride treatment which forms dicalcium phosphate dihydrate as an intermediate.
