14. labelb13 As aforementioned we determine the solvent volume and its mole numbers exclusively from Eq. (refsolvent volume). This assumption is reasonable as long as the number of solvated ions is much lower than the number of solvent molecules.
15. labelb17 It has been reported that under very particular experimental conditions (strongly diluted suspensions) the precipitation of calcium hydroxide becomes suppressed; see Ref. [ refb9].
