Fig. 2. The equilibrium constant as a function of temperature for (a) cerussite dissolution (Eq. [24]) and (b) hydroxyapatite to calcite transformation (Eq. [25]) computed using the Van't Hoff equation (Eq. [13] and constant {Delta}Hr°) or Eq. [21], [22], and [23] ({Delta}Hr° is a function of temperature).
