A technique is described that allows an assessment of the various candidate rate laws that have been proposed to predict the dissolution kinetics of calcite under high pH conditions. A combination of theoretical modelling and experimentation allows us to choose the following rate law as that which best fits the observed data: rate ( mol c m − 2 s − 1 ) = k − k ′ [ C a 2 + ] s [ CO 3 2 − ] s ′ , where k ′ = k / K sp and K sp is the solubility product of calcium carbonate. The modelling developed differs from previous studies in that it deals in terms of surface concentrations of reactants, [ Ca 2 + ] s and [ CO 3 2 − ] , as opposed to those present in bulk solution.
