Suppose the A horizon of your soil is 5 inches thick, with a bulk density of 1.03 g soil/cm3 soil, and has a CEC of 11.5 cmol(+)/kg soil that is 2.1% K-saturated. If the amount of solution K* is equal to 1.5% of the exchangeable K*, then how much K+ (in Ibs K*) will be in the soil solution of the A-horizon acre furrow slice?
