saturation_state_of_calcite_in_sea_water 1 [UUUU] Saturation state expresses the ratio between the calcium (Ca) and calcium carbonate (CO3) ions product and its expected value at the equilibrium with the pure Calcite (CaCO3). Calcite is a mineral that is a polymorph of calcium carbonate. Above 1 the solution is supersaturated, below 1 the solution is undersaturated, at 1 it is at the equilibrium.

fractional_saturation_of_calcite_in_sea_water 1 [UUUU] Fractional saturation is the ratio between the calcium (Ca) and calcium carbonate (CO3) ions product and its expected value at the equilibrium with the pure calcite. Calcite is a mineral that is a polymorph of calcium carbonate (CaCO3). Above 1 the solution is supersaturated, below 1 the solution is undersaturated, at 1 it is at the equilibrium.

fractional_saturation_of_calcite_in_sea_water 1 [UUUU] Fractional saturation is the ratio of some measure of concentration to the saturated value of the same quantity. Above 1 the solution is supersaturated, below 1 the solution is undersaturated, at 1 it is at the equilibrium. Calcite is a mineral that is a polymorph of calcium carbonate. The chemical formula of calcite is CaCO3. Standard names also exist for aragonite, another polymorph of calcium carbonate.
