About one “detail of the Palmer classification” and about the numbering of waters About a "Detailed Classification“ of Palmer and on Numeration of Waters
Abstract
The author introduces a diagram of different water groups according to prof. A. A. Uklonsky. The diagram shows that the detailed Palmer’s classification has several omissions. The author suggests a more perfect numeration of waters, its substance clearly shown on fig. № 2. The essence of this numeration consists of giving the character of the chemical composition of water, sufficient for preliminary general considerations, with the assistance of one number, the so called water number. The water number is derived by means of simple reorganization, or diagrammatically from its chemical composition. By the water number one may calculate, with precision to 4% of reacting values, the sum of r. v. percentages of strong acids, weak acids, strong bases and weak bases. The water number allows to determine its appliance to one or the other group of waters by Palmer’s system. It will facilitate the solution of some genetic problems etc. Finally, the water number is an objective numeral standard determining the position of water in relation to its chemical properties among other natural waters of the globe.
