Question
. An analysis water from well No 9 of the
Manhattan beach, California, water composition
showed : pH=7.8; silica: 19.2 mg SiO2/liter; calcium
= 60 mg Ca2+/liter ; magnesium = 29.16 mg
Mg2+/liter; sodium=78.2 mg Na+ /liter; potassium :
42.9 mg K+ /liter; bicarbonate= 292.8 mg HCO3 -
/liter; sulfate=134.82 mg S04 2- /liter; chloride =
99.4 mg Cl- /liter and nitrate =6.2 mg NO3 - /liter.
The relative atomic masses are: Si=28; Ca=40;
Mg=24.3; Na= 23; K=39; O=16; H=1; C=12; S=32;
Cl=35.5; N=14. (a) Calculate the ionic balance (b) Is
the water analysis satisfactory from the point of
view of analytical accuracy? Justify your answer
