The solubility of oxides of metals and metalloids in water can be considered as a reaction of hydration with the formation of hydroxides species, like Al(OH) 3 •H 2 O, Si(OH) 4 , B(OH) 3 , etc. Calculation of solubility requires, along with the equilibrium constant of the dissolution reaction in the ideal gas state, knowledge of the fugacity coefficients, φ 2 ∞ , for aqueous species. This work describes simple ways of estimating fugacity coefficients for such species in water of various pressures/densities, based on the stoichiometry of hydroxides or the corresponding-states correlation. The method is verified by satisfactorily predicting the solubility of quartz, SiO 2 , at 647.1−773 K, and the pressure dependence of solubility of corundum, Al 2 O 3 , at 973 K in water up to 2000 MPa. A few experimental data points, if available, may significantly improve the accuracy of the proposed method.
