How do I use PHREEQC to calculate the quantity of CaCO3 precipitate using atmospheric Carbon Dioxide with a known concentration of Ca2+ in water?

26 March 2020 0 6K Report

Hi, so I have a known concentration of Ca2+ ions dissolved in water, let's say 6.027E-02 moles in 1kg of water. By using atmospheric CO2(g) and knowing it dissolves in water to form carbonate ions, how can I model in PHREEQC how much calcium carbonate will precipitate.
