Abstract: | The solubility of rhodochrosite (MnCO3) at 25°C under constant carbon dioxide partial pressure p(CO2) was determined in NaCl solutions as a function of ionic strength I. The dissolution of MnCO3(s) for the reaction has been determined as a function of pH. From these values, we have determined the equilibrium constant for the stoichiometric solubility of MnCO3(s) in NaCl solutions These values have been fitted to the equation with a standard error of = 0.1 with Iand concentrations in molalities. The extrapolated value of log K
o
sp(–10.3) in water is in good agreement with literature data (–10.1 to 10.8) determined in solutions of different composition and ionic strength. The measured values of the activity coefficient, T(Mn2+) and T(CO3
2–), have been used to estimate the stability constant for the formation of the MnCO3ion pair, K
*(MnCO3
0). The value of K
0(MnCO3
0) calculated from the values of K
*(MnCO3) by the Pitzer equation ( = 0.1) in this study (4.8 ± 0.1) is in reasonable agreement with literature data. |
