Therakin.dat question

Hello,

I would like to know what some of the numbers in therakin are. 

'dolomite-2'                      184.401    64.365    4  -2.0000 'h+'  1.0000 'ca+2'  1.0000 'mg+2'  2.0000 'hco3-'
'dolomite-2'                           6.9420    5.7530    4.2300    2.6830    0.9330   -0.7330   -2.4510   -4.4160
'dolomite-2'                      0.29764369E+03   -0.18922059E+04   -0.29879856E+00    0.10735824E+06   -0.61228951E+07

In the example above, I realize that:

MW dolomite = 64.365

4 compounds make up dolomite: 

Dolomite + 2H+ -> Ca2+ + Mg2+ + 2HCO3-

I do not know what the second row is. At the top of Therakin, it is mentioned that there are " 8 temperature points: 0.0   25.0   60.0  100.0  150.0  200.0  250.0  300.0", so I assume the second line has to do with a parameter that changes with temperature. 

The third line is the values for a b c d e when you calculate the log(K) of Dolomite. 

*Something interesting that I saw in a simulation I ran. I changed dolomite to dolomite-2 in one of my simulations, and that was the only thing I changed, and I saw a pressure drop of approximately 100 bars in my mesh and the chemistry could not converge. I was wondering why that happened. Hence why I came to post a question about therakin to see if that would answer this drop in pressure. 

Thanks,

Majid

    Section 5.4 on TOUGHREACT manual is where the description of the first, second, and third lines are presented.
