German term or phrase: angelöst
Da durch diese Reaktionen die Carbonat-Ionen in der Nähe der angelösten Kalkphase aus dem Gleichgewicht entfernt werden, kann Calciumcarbonat weiter in Lösung gehen, bis das Löslichkeitsprodukt wieder erreicht ist.

partially dissolved
Explanation:
Calcium carbonate is only very slightly soluble in water. In the given scenario, carbonate ions from the small proportion that has dissolved react (probably with an acid) and are taken out of the equilibrium of solid and dissolved calcium carbonate. This means more ions can dissolve to replace them, the limit being imposed by the solubility product.

disagree  sibsab: your full answer should have been "incipiently dissolved". incipienttly alone only means "anfänglich"
