HydrothermalDude Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Hello again, So I was putting dissolution rate parameters into a kinetic mineral in the reactants tab. When I would input the dissolution rate law, I had a species (SiO2(aq)) which is part of the function and is raised to a particular power. When putting the power dependency into the kinetics the stoichiometry of the rate constant changes from mol/(cm2*s) to mol.75kg.25/(cm2*s) for example. What does this imply? Thanks, Drew Here is the attached gwb script: The database is for 500 bars and at 300C....so don't necessarily try to run it Olv-Talc(Kinetic).rea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Meuzelaar Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 What does this imply? Hi Drew: I'm not sure I understand the question. Units on the rate constant must change depending on how the rate law is posed. Note for instance when you add inhibiting/promoting species that rate constant units change depending on whether or not you cast the species as concentrations or activities.
