I posted a similar query in a different section but came up crickets. It shouldn't be too hard to answer but I'm hung up on the mechanics of the calculation. That, plus the fact that it's been eons since I pondered much about ions. Here goes:
"Broothru brews beer and adds "Trifecta" (1 part NaMeta : 1 part Ascorbic Acid : 2 parts BrewTan B) to both mash water (1.4 gr.) and boil pot (1.6 gr.)"
"Broothru intends to brew a Continental Lager using distilled water, adding very limited amounts of "brewing salts".
"If Broothru adds 3 grams of "Trifecta" to 9 gallons of distilled water, how many Parts Per Million (ppm) of sodium anion and sulfate cation will result from the 0.75 grams of sodium metabisulfite (Na2S2O5)?"
Extra points for showing your work.*
*(yes, I realize that mg/l is roughly equivalent to ppm, but I don't trust my math or chem skills; it's been a few years).
