The tables below provides information on the variation of solubility of different substances (mostly inorganic compounds) in water with temperature, at one atmosphere pressure. Units of solubility are given in grams of substance per 100 millilitres of water (g/(100 mL)), unless shown otherwise. The substances are listed in alphabetical order.
The last equation above fixes the concentration of dissolved CO 2 as a function of P CO 2, independent of the concentration of dissolved CaCO 3. At atmospheric partial pressure of CO 2, dissolved CO 2 concentration is 1.2 × 10 −5 moles per liter. The equation before that fixes the concentration of H 2 CO 3 as a function of CO 2 concentration.
The following chart shows the solubility of various ionic compounds in water at 1 atm pressure and room temperature (approx. 25 °C, 298.15 K). "Soluble" means the ionic compound doesn't precipitate, while "slightly soluble" and "insoluble" mean that a solid will precipitate; "slightly soluble" compounds like calcium sulfate may require heat to precipitate.
The exact value of the CCD depends on the solubility of calcium carbonate which is determined by temperature, pressure and the chemical composition of the water – in particular the amount of dissolved CO 2 in the water. Calcium carbonate is more soluble at lower temperatures and at higher pressures.
The solubility of a specific solute in a specific solvent is generally expressed as the concentration of a saturated solution of the two. [1] Any of the several ways of expressing concentration of solutions can be used, such as the mass, volume, or amount in moles of the solute for a specific mass, volume, or mole amount of the solvent or of the solution.
Aragonite is a carbonate mineral and one of the three most common naturally occurring crystal forms of calcium carbonate (Ca CO 3), the others being calcite and vaterite.It is formed by biological and physical processes, including precipitation from marine and freshwater environments.
A metal ion in aqueous solution or aqua ion is a cation, dissolved in water, of chemical formula [M(H 2 O) n] z+.The solvation number, n, determined by a variety of experimental methods is 4 for Li + and Be 2+ and 6 for most elements in periods 3 and 4 of the periodic table.
The calcification and dissolution of their shells causes changes both in the surface seawater carbonate chemistry, and in deep-water chemistry. [25] These organisms are excellent paleo-proxies as they record ambient water chemistry during shell formation and are well-preserved in the sedimentary fossil record.
