QUESTION

Anorthite (CaAl2Si2O8 (s)) is weathered by both H+-ion attack and hydrolysis according to the following reaction:

Anorthite (CaAl2Si2O8 (s)) is weathered by both H+-ion attack and hydrolysis according to the following reaction: CaAl2Si2O8 + H2O + 2H+ <--> Al2Si2O5(OH)4 + Ca++(a) Will anorthite weather to form kaolinite (Al2Si2O5(OH)4(s)) in river water if pH = 7.0 and [Ca++(aq)] = 10 mg/L? Assume river water is an ideal dilute solution and the temperature is 25ºC.
