RE: Nitrogen redox



Ok,
Please review the attached file.  

Problem:  Product water is injected into an aquifer and begins to mix,
simulated by progressive amounts of product water added to 1 liter of
groundwater.  What are the effects on manganese concentrations assuming
birnessite solubility and redox are the controlling factors?

Questions:
1.  If I assume N2 and NO2 are stable, as in this file, manganese
concentrations are held to 1 nM or less.  However, assuming only nitrate
and ammonia are stable results in >5 orders of magnitude increase in
manganese concentration.  Why does this occur and which state is more
realistic?

2.  Is the problem posed correctly in this file?

Thanks for your time.

Sorry, I can't go through all of these files and permutations. Please
boil it down to one file with questions.
