Water from a lake in an area with limestone bedrock has a chemical composition as on p. 310. If the organic matter (HM) content of the water is 12 mg L-1, show that charge balance is adequately maintained.  ***If you find that charge balance is not maintained from the tabulated concentrations, calculate the carboxylate concentration (CCOO−) in the HM.
