Water from a lake in an area with limestone bedrock has a chemical composition as on p. 310. If the organic matter (HM) content of the water is 12 mg L-1, show that charge balance is adequately maintained. ***If you find that charge balance is not maintained from the tabulated concentrations, calculate the carboxylate concentration (CCOO−) in the HM.

Chapter #15, Question #5: ‘Mineralization’ refers to the process by which organic forms of an element are broken down and converted to inorganic species. In environmental situations this is most often a microbiological process. For nitrogen, indicate what forms of the element might be present in water of soil as reactants and products of the mineralization process.
