The effect of specific background electrolytes on water structure and solute hydration: Consequences for crystal dissolution and growth

Barium sulfate is used as a model system to illustrate how solution composition can affect processes of crystal dissolution and growth. Rates and modes of reactions as well as morphological features can be modified by the introduction of simple ionic salts (KCl, NaCl, LiCl, CsCl, NaF, NaNO3), due to...
