Solubility of cryolite at 25° C and 1 atmosphere pressure

May 1, 1973

For natural cryolite from Greenland the activity product for the reaction (in water),
NaAl F6 c --> 3Na+ + Al3+ + 6F-,
was found to be 10-34.3 +/- 0.1. This is in good agreement with earlier work in which equilibrium was approached from supersaturation.
