Abstract

The structural formula for K and Mg saturated beidellite was calculated from the total elemental analysis of the < 0.2 μm clay fraction of the B2t horizon of a Mexico soil. The free energies of formation (ΔGfo) of K-beidellite and Mg-beidellite as determined from their apparent solubilities were -2491.3 and -2484.0 ± 3.2 kcal per mole, respectively. The free energies of formation correspond to a clay mineral structure calculated on the basis of a 24 oxygen cell.
