Suppose a groundwater is analyzed to contain 5x10-2 mol/L Ca2+ and
7x10-3 mol/L SO42-. Is this water saturated with respect to anhydrite (CaSO4(s))?
KSP = 10-4.5
IAP = (5x10-2)(7x10-3) = 3.5x10-4 = 10-3.45
Ω = 10-3.45/10-4.5 = 101.05 = 11.22

What would happen if a solution with [Ba2+]/[Ca2+] = 10-3
([Ca2+] = 1,000[Ba2+]) came into contact with a gypsum-
bearing rock?
Barite will precipitate (taking Ba2+ out of the solution) and
gypsum will dissolve until [Ba2+]/[Ca2+] = 10-5.4.
Hydrolysis
The interaction between water and one or both ions of a salt
that results in the formation of the parental acid or base, or both.
We classify salts by the strength of the acid and base from
which they form:
1. Strong acid + strong base do not hydrolyze
2. Strong acid + weak base cations + OH- = acidic soln
3. Weak acid + strong base anions + H+ = basic soln
4. Weak acid + weak base release both cation & anions
Most common rock-forming minerals of the crust are salts
of weak acids and strong bases, e.g., carbonates and silicates
of alkali metals (Group 1) and alkaline earths (Group 2)
form these salts…this is why groundwater in carbonate aquifers
is commonly basic
