Upon analyzing a seawater sample, it was found that the concentration of bicarbonate ions (HCO3-) is 0.09 m, the activity of calcium ions (Ca2+) is 10^-6, and the pH of the seawater sample is 8.0. (a) Will calcite precipitate in this seawater sample? (b) Calculate the required activity of Mg2+ ions for dolomite to precipitate.
