Our results evidence a relation between K-spar dissolution rate and the Gibbs free energy of reaction (Δ<em>G</em><sub><em>r</em></sub>) which clearly differs from the transition state theory usually implemented into geochemical codes: it depends on the crystallographic orientation of K-spar mineral with significant differences between the different crystal faces.
