2.4) An analysis for suspended solids is run as follows: (1) a fiberglass filter is dried to
constant mass of 0.137 g; (2) 100 ml of a sample is drawn through the filter; and (3)
the filter and residue are placed in a drying over at 104 oC until a constant mass of
1.183 g is reached determine the suspended-solids concentration in milligrams per
liter.
2.12) the reaction of soda ash (Na2 CO3) with calcium sulfate in water is represented
by the following chemical statement:
Na2Co3 + CaSO4
CaCo3 + Na2SO4
Assuming that this reaction is complete and that there is 153 mg/L of CaSO4 initially
presen, what is the mass of soda ash that must be added to (a) 1 L of the water and
(b) 10.000 m of the water to complete the reactions.
87 mg/L Mg2+
2.19) A sample of water was analyzed for common ions with the result shown below
HCO3- = 300 mg/L
Na+ = 115 mg/L
SO42- = 240 mg/L
Mg2+ = 36.6 mg/L
CI- = 71.0 mg/L
Ca2+ = 100 mg/L
Construct a bar diagram in milliequivalents per liter for this water.
