Solubility and Environmental Factors
The solubility of $\text{CaCO}_3$ is classically described by the saturation index ($\Omega$), where $\Omega > 1$ indicates precipitation and $\Omega < 1$ indicates dissolution. However, anomalous dissolution has been observed in high-purity laboratory settings where the surrounding glassware surfaces, even if chemically inert (like borosilicate), exhibit a mild, persistent positive charge that actively repels th…
