Abstract: | The solubility of siderite (FeCO3) at 25°C under constant CO2 partial pressure [p(CO2)] was determined in NaCl solutions as a function of ionic strength. The dissolution of FeCO3(s) for the reaction has been determined as a function of pH = – log[H+]. From these values we have determined the equilibrium constant for the stoichiometric solubility to FeCO3(s) in NaCl These values have been fitted to the equation with a standard error of s = 0.15. The extrapolated value of log(Kosp) – 10.9 in water is in good agreement with data in the literature (– 10.8 to – 11.2) determined in solutions of different composition and ionic strength.The measured values of the activity coefficient, T(Fe2+) T(CO32–), have been used to estimate the stability constant for the formation of the FeCO3 ion pair, K*(FeCO3). The values of K*(FeCO3) have been fitted to the equation (s = 0.09) The value of log[Ko(FeCO3)] in water found in this study (6.3 ± 0.2) is slightly higher than the value found from extrapolations in 1.0 m NaClO4 solutions (5.9 ± 0.2). These differences are related to the model used to determine the activity coefficients of the Fe(II) and carbonate species in the two solutions. |
