1. The results of a water analysis are as follows: Ca2+ = 70 mg/L Mg2+ = 9.7 mg/L Na+ = 6.9 mg/L K + = 0.1 mg/L Cl- = 10.6 mg/L SO4 2- = 96.0 mg/L HCO3 - = 140.3 mg/L 1) Is this an acceptable analysis? Why or why not? 2) Draw a millequivalent bar graph showing meq/L for a cation and anion balance. 3) What dose of lime and soda ash would be required to treat this water to an acceptable hardness levels?

Hard water often contains dissolved Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions. One way to soften water is to add phosphates. The phosphate ion forms insoluble precipitates with calcium and magnesium ions, removing them from solution. Suppose that a solution is 0.049 M in calcium chloride and 0.094 M in magnesium nitrate. What mass of sodium phosphate would have to be added to 1.4 L of this solution to completely eliminate the hard water ions? Assume complete reaction. Enter a numerical answer in...
