Inorganic Chemistry

The chemistry of just a few samples can be depicted using bar charts or pie charts, which are easily created with database and spread sheet software, as shown in Figure 10.3. If the concentrations in these types of plots are given in me/L, a quick visual inspection of charge balance can be made. In a bar chart, the anions are plotted in one column, and the captions in the other; a perfect charge balance will result in columns of equal height. On a pie chart, the anions and cautions are plotted in opposite hemispheres, so that with perfect charge balance, each occupies half the circle. Pie charts may be scaled so that the area of the circle is proportional to the total of the listed concentrations. In this way, one can distinguish between samples with similar percentage distributions among the major ions, but differing levels of total dissolved solids
