Abstract:
The levels of inorganic anions (NO3-, NO2-, SO(2-)4, F- and HPO(2-)4 with the following average values (mg/l) were determined isotachophoretically in 82 samples of potable water for humans and animals: 39.7 +/- 53.1 for nitrates, min. 0.0 - max. 363.3; 0.206 +/- 0.954 for nitrites, min. 0.0 - max. 7.82; 37.5 +/- 32.4 for chlorides, min. 0.0 - max. 137.9; 74.2 +/- 74.1 for sulfates, min. 4.2 - max. 369.2; 0.208 +/- 0.138 for fluorides, min. 0.032 - max 0.605 and 0.350 +/- 1.197 for phosphates, min. 0.0 - max. 17.4 (Tabs. I-IV). Within the set of samples examined, 22.0 of samples exceeded the limit value of nitrites; the respective values of nitrites, chlorides, sulfates and phosphates were 13.4, 6.1, 2.4 and 1.2. None of the samples exceeded the limit value of fluorides. 34.1% of samples complied with the value recommended by the standard for nitrites. Nitrate concentrations in drinking water for cows were compared with urine iodine content in some cows in the total of 398 urine samples from 14 iodine content in urine was recorded at some localities. Correlation analysis proved this relationship to be statistically highly significant (P < 0.01), Tab. VIII. The values of nitrate and iodine contents at DYJ locality are expressly different (Tab. VII).

Ionic Bonds
Ions as Acids and Bases
Salts are ionic compounds composed of cations and anions, either of which may be capable of undergoing an acid or base ionization reaction with water. Aqueous salt solutions, therefore, may be acidic, basic, or neutral, depending on the relative acid-base strengths of the salt’s constituent ions. For example, dissolving the ammonium chloride in water results in its dissociation, as described by the equation:
Metal-Ligand Bonds
In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...
