Suppose the A horizon of your soil is 10 inches thick, with a bulk density of 1.28 g soil/cm³ soil, and has a CEC of 15.5 cmol(+)/kg soil that is 2.4% K-saturated. If the amount of solution K* is equal to 1.7% of the exchangeable K+, then how much K+ (in lbs K+) will be in the soil solution of the A-horizon acre furrow slice?

Question
Suppose the A horizon of your soil is 10
inches thick, with a bulk density of 1.28 g
soil/cm3 soil, and has a CEC of 15.5
cmol(+)/kg soil that is 2.4% K-saturated. If
the amount of solution K* is equal to 1.7%
of the exchangeable K*, then how much K*
(in Ibs K*) will be in the soil solution of the
A-horizon acre furrow slice?
