Abstract: | The apparent (stoichiometric) solubility product of calcite in artificial seawater of salinity 35‰ was measured by a saturometer technique. The value of the apparent solubility product was found to be (4·59 ± 0·05) × 10−7 moles/(kilogram of seawater)2 at 25°C with a temperature coefficient of −0·0108 × 10−7/°C between 2 and 25°C. These values are significantly smaller than those found by MacIntyre (1965) and other workers. The effect of these results on the saturation of the oceans with respect to calcite is examined. |
