Question
2a Suppose the Gapon constant K =([Ca ] X/([Cd ]X.) is 25. Also suppose that your soil
has equilibrated with a large mass of contaminated water with a [Ca ] of 0.1 millimoles per liter
and a [Cd ] of 0.025 millimoles per liter. What is the X/X. in the soil?
2b. Suppose the CEC of the soil is 0.3 milliequvalents per kilogram and assume that the only
two cations attached to the soil particles are Ca and Cd What is the total amount of Cd
attached to a kilogram of soil.
2c. Suppose that an area of soil 300 meters long, 200 meters wide and 2 meters deep with a
density of 1800 kilograms per cubic meter has been contaminated with this water. What is the
total mass of Cd in this soil?
