What is the cation exchange capacity (in meq/100 g) and base saturation (in %) of a 150 g soil sample that contains the following amounts of exchangeable cations: 240 mg Ca2+, 69 mg Na+, 234 mg K+, 192 mg Mg2+, 54 mg Al3+, and 10 mg H+. Use the following molar weights: Ca2+ = 40 g/mol; Na+ = 23 g/mol; K+ = 39 g/mol; Mg2+ = 24 g/mol; Al3+ = 27 g/mol and H+ is 1 g/mol.
