Water treatment plants must reduce phosphate levels to 3.2 micromoles PO4^3-/L before the water is considered drinkable. If water from Lake Pontchartrain is determined to have a phosphate concentration of 0.419 mg PO4^3-/L, does it meet this allowable standard for drinking water?

As part of the analysis of water samples, the hardness of water is commonly measured and calculated. It is commonly expressed in ppm by mass (parts per million) of CaCO3. Parts per million is also equivalent to milligrams of CACO3 per liter of water. In a sample taken by an environmentalist, he was able to observe a hardness count of 205 mg CacO3/L. Given this hardness count of the sample, what is the molar concentration of Ca2+ ions in the water sample?
