Rxn writes a reaction with Pyrite on the left side, balanced by the default basis species

Rxn will automatically add its default set of species.

Fe(OH)3(ppd) has been swapped in for Fe++

O2(g) swapped in for O2(aq)

Recast the reaction by performing basis swaps. Click to swap out an entry, then choose a species to replace it

The reaction is automatically rebalanced in terms of a ferric iron mineral and O2(g).

Rxn can calculate equilibrium constants at any temperature

Log K at the specified temperature

Log Ks for the above reaction at the principal

temperatures

Choose pH and Eh units

You can use Rxn to calculate equilibrium lines, such as those appearing on activity diagrams.
