Hi there,
I have tried to calculate the percentage of magnesium, calcium and potassium sulfates that need to go into Equilibrium to reach the percentages stated on the website (forgetting about the small Mn anf Fe sulfate amounts). I do not seem to be able to quite figure it out, as the amounts of the different sulfates needed to make 1000g of my equivalent mix (based on providing the given percentages of each element) add up to about 1025g...The logic was such - Equilibrium contains 19.5% K, I get 44.88% K from KSO4, thus I need 434.54g KSO4 to provide 195g K in a 1000g mixture (19.5%), and so on for MgSO4 and CaSO4.
I know that this tiny difference is utterly irrelevant, but I would also like to get my understanding of dry powder usage right (you guys got me interested in the chemistry!). Am I making a mistake here somewhere in the calculations?
Many thanks, Henrik
