Expert Solution
Step 1: Langelier Saturation Index (LSI)

The Langelier Saturation Index (LSI) is a measure of the tendency of water to form calcium carbonate scales.

It is calculated using the following equation:

LSI = pH - pHs

where

  •  pH is the actual pH of the water
  •  pHs is the saturation pH of calcium carbonate.
