CALCITE AND aRAGONITE activity problem
« on: October 13, 2008, 07:27:22 AM »
Aragonite and calcite are different crystalline forms of CaCO3. If the activity of calcite is taken as unity, what would the activity of aragonite have to be in order for it to maintain the same activities of Ca2+ and CO32- in solution that calcite does?
Log K = -8.336 ARAGONITE
Log K = -8.48 CALCITE

thx in advance
