Several papers have recently suggested that decomposition of gas hydrates could have played an important role in the geologic history of Mars and Europa. Gas hydrates form in porous sediments under low temperatures and high pressures. The FREZCHEM model was developed to predict chemical equilibria over the temperature range from -70 to 25° C and the pressure range from 1 to 1000 bars using the Pitzer equations, which are valid to high ionic strengths. The objectives of this paper were to (1) add gas (carbon dioxide and methane) hydrate chemistry to the FREZCHEM model, and (2) use the model to examine hypothetical gas hydrate chemistries on Mars and Europa. For the gas hydrate model, key variables and constants that were quantified as functions of pressure and temperature were solubility products, gas solubilities, and activity coefficients. Based on this work, new state-of-the-art stability diagrams were developed for carbon dioxide and methane hydrates in pure water and seawater. Applications to Mars a
