You are conducting a weathering study and your solution analysis indicates that you have 1.8 X 10-3 M silica and a pH of 3. You plug this data into your chemical speciation computer program and indicates that quartz precipitates. Do you think this will happen

I do not think it will happen

Explanation:

The result is not general and can only occur when there is higher temperatures and pressure. Only when there's high temperature and pressure, will the solution precipitate.

More so; kinematically, the result is limited though it can happen in thermodynamics environment.
