How does the OLI Software determine how much solid will form?

To begin this discussion we will assume we have a simple solution of CaCO3 and H2O at 25 oC and 1 atmosphere. In addition we will ignore the activity coefficients to make the discussion simpler.

Let's start off with 0.01 mole/Kg of CaCO3 in 1 Kg of H2O at the aforementioned temperature and pressure. The OLI software initially assumes that no solids are present in the solution. We would have a solution concentration consisting of the following:

Aqueous
mol/Kg
H+1 2.56E-11
OH-1/ 4.71E-04
CaCO3 8.27E-03
CaHCO3+1 6.75E-06
Ca+2 1.71E-03
CaOH+1 9.62E-06
CO2 2.25E-08
CO3-2 1.25E-03
HCO3-1 4.74E-04
