total alkalinity and total hardness
I think I understand that KH measures carbonate ion concentration and GH
measures total dissolved solids. Knowing the total alkalinity and total
hardness, and the concentrations of Cl-, NO3-, SO4--, Ca++ and Mg++ can
we deduce CO3--, Na+ and K+ concentrations? (assuming typical ground
water from a well)
Here are the parameters (ppm):
Chloride 45.
Nitrate 22.2
Sulfate 24.
Barium < 0.02
Calcium 92.
Magnesium 12.20
Ferrous Iron < 0.02
Manganese < 0.02
Copper < 0.02
Zinc 0.36
Chromium < 0.02
Phosphate 0.041
Ph 7.1
Total Hardness 280
Total Alkalinity 330
