Farmers use ammonium sulfate as a fertilizer. In the soil, ni-trifying bacteria oxidize NH4+to NO3-, a groundwater contam-inant that causes methemoglobinemia (“blue baby” syndrome).The World Health Organization standard for maximum [NO3-]in groundwater is 45 mg/L. A farmer adds 210. kg of (NH4)2SO4 to a field and 37% is oxidized to NO3-. What is the groundwa-ter [NO3-] (in mg/L) if 1000. m3of the water is contaminated?
