Problem 2.(3 points) The following mineral analysis was reported for a water sample taken from Well
No.1 at the Eastwood Manor Subdivision near McHenry Illinois in 1976. Determine the
total, carbonate, and noncarbonate hardness in units of mgL as CaCO3. Note that because
all the constituents were not analyzed, the ion balance will not work out. All values are
given as mgL as the ion unless otherwise stated.
Problem 3.(3 points) A water is analyzed and found to have the composition shown in the following
table. All values are given in terms of the ion (not as CaCO3). The equivalent weight table in
the notes may help in answering this question.
What concentrations (expressed as mgL of slaked lime (Ca(OH)2) and soda ash (Na2CO3)
must be added to remove the maximum practical hardness? (Assume a lime excess of 1.25
meqL.
Problem 2 . ( 3 points ) The following mineral
