Lab analysis indicates that a water sample contains 0.3 mM Ca2+, 10-3.5 atm pCO2, and [H+] = 10-7 M. Are the dissolved ions in equilibrium with calcite, undersaturated, or super saturated? Base your answer on the calculated free energy change of the reaction under these concentration conditions, also temperature is 25 ºC.
