The kinetics of calcite dissolution have generally been studied more than those of any other mineral except perhaps quartz (for more extensive reference hsts see Alkattan et al. (1998) and Wollast (1990)). Here we summarize the classic work of Plummer et al. (1978) who suggested that dissolution occurred by the following reactions... 

Using the reaction from part (a), estimate the quantity of Ca " (kg/ha) that could be leached out of a calcareous soil in one year by reaction with the carbonic acid in pristine rainfall. Assume a moist temperate climate with 90 cm of rainfall per year. Calculate the equilibrium concentration of Ca " that would be present in the solution of a calcareous soil with a pH of 7.8 and a CO2 gas pressure of 10 milliatmospheres. How much annual Ca loss by leaching could this dissolution reaction cause under the same conditions described in part (b) (Assume rapid kinetics of calcite dissolution.)...
