No other data provided 3. The cations on an exchangeable site of a 40 g soil were displaced by repeatedly washing by a salt and found to be 40 mg Ca+2, 11.5 mg Na+1, 39 mg K+1, 12 mg Mg+2, and 9 mg Al+3. The pH of the soil was 5.0. Calculate the CEC (cmolc/kg), percentage base saturation (PBS) and percent acidic saturation (PAC) per kg of the soil. 4. A give soil has a CEC of 12.50 cmol of...
