Calculations based on approximately 350 new measurements (Ca T -PCO 2 ) of the solubilities of calcite, aragonite and vaterite in CO 2 -H 2 O solutions between 0 and 90°C indicate the following values for the log of the equilibrium constants K C , K A , and K V respectively, for the reaction CaCO 3 (s) = Ca 2+ + CO 2- 3 : Log K C = -171.9065 - 0.077993 T + 2839.319/ T + 71.595 log T Log K A = -171.9773 - 0.077993 T + 2903.293/ T +71.595 log T Log K V = -172.1295 - 0.077993 T + 3074.688/ T + 71.595 log T where T is in o K. At 25°C the logarithms of the equilibrium constants are -8.480 ± 0.020, -8.336 ± 0.020 and -7.913 ± 0.020 for calcite, aragonite and vaterite, respectively. The equilibrium constants are internally consistent with an aqueous model that includes the CaHCO + 3 and CaCO 0 3 ion pairs, revised analytical expressions for CO 2 -H 2 O equilibria, and extended Debye-Hückel individual ion activity coefficients. Using this aqueous model, the equilibrium constant of aragonite shows no PCO 2 -dependence if the CaHCO + 3 association constant is Log K Cahco + 3 = 1209.120 + 0.31294 T -- 34765.05/ T - 478.782 log T between 0 and 90°C, corresponding to the value log K Cahco + 3 = 1.11 ± 0.07 at 25°C. The CaCO 0 3 association constant was measured potentiometrically to be log K CaCO 0 3 = -1228.732 - 0.299444 T + 35512.75/ T + 485.818 log T between 5 and 80°C, yielding log K CaCO 0 3 = 3.22 ± 0.14 at 25°C. The CO 2 -H 2 O equilibria have been critically evaluated and new empirical expressions for the temperature dependence of K H , K 1 and K 2 are log K H = 108.3865 + 0.01985076 T - 6919.53/ T - 40.45154 log T + 669365./ T 2 , log K 1 = -356.3094 - 0.06091964 T + 21834.37/ T + 126.8339 log T -- 1684915./ T 2 and log K 2 = -107.8871 - 0.03252849 T + 5151.79/ T + 38.92561 log T - 563713.9/ T 2 which may be used to at least 250°C. These expressions hold for 1 atm. total pressure between 0 and 100°C and follow the vapor pressure curve of water at higher temperatures. Extensive measurements of the pH of Ca-HCO 3 solutions at 25°C and 0.956 atm PCO 2 using different compositions of the reference electrode filling solution show that measured differences in pH are closely approximated by differences in liquid-junction potential as calculated by the Henderson equation. Liquid-junction corrected pH measurements agree with the calculated pH within 0.003-0.011 pH. Earlier arguments suggesting that the CaHCO + 3 ion pair should not be included in the CaCO 3 -CO 2 -H 2 O aqueous model were based on less accurate calcite solubility data. The CaHCO + 3 ion pair must be included in the aqueous model to account for the observed PCO 2 -dependence of aragonite solubility between 317 ppm CO 2 and 100% CO 2 . Previous literature on the solubility of CaCO 3 polymorphs have been critically evaluated using the aqueous model and the results are compared.
