A straightforward treatment of activity in aqueous CaCo3 solutions and the consequences for nucleation theory

The aqueous calcium carbonate system is rigorously investigated with respect to ionic activity. Ideal treatment is found to be a good approximation at relevant concentrations. The data further show that bound CaCO3 species cannot be regarded as «inactive» during nucleation but rather appear to play...
