EE Chemistry: Is my research question focused enough?

Hey

I am writing my EE in Chemistry. I will investigate the effect of soft drinks on teeth on a chemical level, so basically the effect of H+ ions on tooth enamel, which consists of hydroxyapatite. H+ ions should react with hydroxyapatite to form phosphate ions. My research question is:

How does the H30+ ion concentration of soft drink affect the PO4^(3-) ion production while reacting with hydroxyapatite from milk teeth over 48 hours at body temperature?

Do you think my research question is focused enough? And what do you think of my investigation in general?

:)

Well we have an measuring advice for phosphate ions at school and I want to measure the weight of the teeth and the pH value. Then it should be pretty easy to do some simple calculations in relation to acid-base reactions. I want to compare different brands and drinks (Coke, Ice Tea and juice).
