Questions
A. Based on the analysis of your local water, would you classify its hardness as soft, moderate, hard, or very hard? Explain your answer.
I would describe my local water as soft because 3 ppm falls within the soft classification (0-60 ppm).
B. Approximately how much calcium would you ingest by drinking eight 8-oz glasses of your local water? Hint: 1oz (fluid ounce) = 29.57 mL.
I would ingest approximately 25.03 mg of calcium by drinking eight 8 oz glasses of my local water.
C. Assume an average minimum daily requirement for calcium is 1,150 mg. Calculate what percentage of your daily requirements could be met by drinking 1.0 L of your local water.
