Calcium sulfate gypsum, weathering

The action of carbonic acid on limestone produces a calcium bicarbonate solution that is exceedingly soluble in water. (For comparison, at 20°C the solubility of calcium carbonate in water is only 0.0145 g per liter while the solubility of calcium bicarbonate is 166 g per literJ ) Magnesium ions from dolomite are also released into aqueous solution according to the same mechanism. The weathering of gypsum, calcium sulfate, also releases calcium ions into natural water supplies. [Pg.61]
