Reference no: EM13111695

A sediment sample of clay was equilibrated with ammonium ion (NH4+). The ammonium ion was then displaced with Na+. The total amount of ammonium that had been adsorbed by the sediment sample was 55.8 milliequivalents (meq) and the sample had a dried mass of 82.4 g. Calculate the action exchange capacity (CEC) in meq/100g.
