  2. Alkalinity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkalinity

    Alkalinity is expressed in units of concentration, such as meq/L (milliequivalents per liter), μeq/kg (microequivalents per kilogram), or mg/L CaCO 3 (milligrams per liter of calcium carbonate). [3] Each of these measurements corresponds to an amount of acid added as a titrant.

  3. Carbonate hardness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonate_hardness

    An aqueous solution containing 120 mg NaHCO 3 (baking soda) per litre of water will contain 1.4285 mmol/l of bicarbonate, since the molar mass of baking soda is 84.007 g/mol. This is equivalent in carbonate hardness to a solution containing 0.71423 mmol/L of (calcium) carbonate, or 71.485 mg/L of calcium carbonate (molar mass 100.09 g/mol).

  4. Hard water - Wikipedia

    It is equivalent to mg/L without chemical compound specified, and to American degree. Grain per gallon (gpg) is defined as 1 grain (64.8 mg) of calcium carbonate per U.S. gallon (3.79 litres), or 17.118 ppm. 1 mmol/L is equivalent to 100.09 mg/L CaCO 3 or 40.08 mg/L Ca 2+.

  5. Grain per gallon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grain_per_gallon

    The grain per gallon (gpg) is a unit of water hardness defined as 1 grain (64.8 milligrams) of calcium carbonate dissolved in 1 US gallon of water (3.785412 L). It translates into 1 part in about 58,000 parts of water or 17.1 parts per million (ppm). Also called Clark degree (in terms of an imperial gallon).

    SAR = ⁠ [Na +] / √ [Ca 2+ /2 + Mg 2+ /2] ⁠ = ⁠ {Na + /23} / √ {Ca 2+ /40 + Mg 2+ /24} ⁠ where: [ ] stands for concentration in milliequivalents/liter (briefly meq/L), and { } stands for concentration in mg/L. It is seen that Mg is thought to play a similar role as Ca . The SAR should not be much higher than 20 and preferably less ...

  7. Calcium carbonate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_carbonate

    Calcium carbonate is used in the production of calcium oxide as well as toothpaste and has seen a resurgence as a food preservative and color retainer, when used in or with products such as organic apples. [58] Calcium carbonate is used therapeutically as phosphate binder in patients on maintenance haemodialysis. It is the most common form of ...

  8. Drinking water quality standards - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drinking_water_quality...

    A standard of "nitrite as N" set at 1.4 mg/L equals a nitrite ion concentration of 4.6 mg/L. This is an apparent difference of nearly threefold. ... CaCO3 0–75 mg/L ...

  9. Dissolved inorganic carbon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissolved_inorganic_carbon

    Some surface marine organisms, like Coccolithophores, produce hard structures out of calcium carbonate, a form of particulate inorganic carbon, by fixing bicarbonate. [13] This fixation of DIC is an important part of the oceanic carbon cycle. Ca 2+ + 2 HCO − 3 → CaCO 3 + CO 2 + H 2 O
