6. Water contains organic color which is to be extracted with alum and lime. Five parts of alum and lime per million parts of water will reduce the color to 25% of the original color and 10 parts will reduce the color to 3.5%. Estimate how much alum and lime as parts per million are required to reduce the color to 0.5% of the original color.
