Graphical Abstract: At a given supersaturation state, the conventional affinity-based rate law predicts a rate that is independent of the ion ratio (green horizontal line). However, the ion activity ratio influences the instantaneous rate, changes in the rate over time, and the nature of precipitation kinetics at extreme ion ratios. Strontium mole fraction plotted vs. ion activity ratio r. The vertical line indicates the ion activity ratio at the highest observed precipitation rate.
