Solution Summary
This solution provides step by step calculations and explanations for questions regarding an Estuarine water sample.
Solution Preview
(a) g/L of S
Sulfate = SO4 = 32 + 4*16 = 96 g/mol
S = 32 g/mol
So in 1.5 g of sulfate ion the amount of S = 1.5*32/96 = 0.5 (g/L)
So the sample contains 0.5 g/L of S.
(b) molar concentration of sulfate ...
