100 g soil was completely saturated with Al+3 (100% of the CEC is occupied with Al+3). Any excess Al+3was leached from the soil sample. The exchangeable Al+3 was then exchanged with K+ by adding 1N KCl. The Al+3 in the extract was determined by titration with 150 ml of 0.15 N base. Calculate the CEC.
A soil is 75% saturated with Ca+2 + Mg+2 + K+. 50 g of this soil is titrated with 20 ml of 0.1 N NaOH. Calculate the CEC.
