Question

Identify the main cations which result due to weathering of teesta river

Answer 1

Answer:

What are the major ions present in Teesta River?

Gibb´s plot of the Teesta River. Ternary plotting can help to understand the major ion chemistry of the present assessment (Fig. 6). For cation, on average, Ca2+ covers the highest total cationic equivalent charge of 63% followed by Na+ and K+ with 22.5%, Mg2+ covering 14.5%.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Explanation:

The predominance of Ca, Mg and HCO3 in all waters reflects the influence of carbonate weathering on the Teesta River. ... The higher concentration of cations was balanced by the SO4 originating from the action of H2SO4 and H2CO3 on carbonates and silicates.
