Given the following groundwater analysis at 25 °C:

Ca2+: 83.27 mg/L              Mg2+: 24.32 mg/L       Na+: 18.33 mg/L        

K+: 2.34 mg/L                   SO42-: 23.45 mg/L       HCO3-: 366.78 mg/L

Cl-: 12.50 mg/L                 pH = 7.8                      TDS = 542 mg/L

1) Do a cation-anion balance.

2)Find the ion activity product (IAP) of calcite CaCO3.

3)Compare the IAP of anhydrite with the Ksp of calcite (10-8.4).
