2.28. A groundwater is being considered for use as a domestic supply. The
water has a temperature 15°C and the following chemical analysis:
CONCENTRATION,
CONSTITUENT
Ca+?
190
Mg*2
Na*

64
CO,-2
30
440
NO,-
35
a. Use an anion-cation balance to determine if the sample analysis is
reasonable.
b. What is the hardness of the water?
