This document contains solutions to chemistry problems from Chapter 9. Problem 9.1 identifies standards-setting organizations for water quality. Problem 9.2 describes microanalysis techniques for studying microorganisms and human impacts. The remaining problems calculate concentrations, masses, volumes, and densities using chemical formulas, conversion factors, and quantitative analysis methods.

CHAPTER 9 - PROBLEM SOLUTIONS

9.1 The American Public Health Association, the American Water Works Association, and
the Water Environment Federation.

9.2 Microanalysis, the special mixture of chemical and biochemical methods, and data
interpretation in terms of the effect on microorganisms and human beings are not
normally covered in the usual courses in quantitative analysis.
