    Sulfur dioxide is fairly soluble in water, and by both IR and Raman spectroscopy; the hypothetical sulfurous acid, H 2 SO 3, is not present to any extent. However, such solutions do show spectra of the hydrogen sulfite ion, HSO 3 −, by reaction with water, and it is in fact the actual reducing agent present: SO 2 + H 2 O ⇌ HSO 3 − + H +

    Recommendations for magnesium have been put at a minimum of 10 mg/L with 20–30 mg/L optimum; for calcium a 20 mg/L minimum and a 40–80 mg/L optimum, and a total water hardness (adding magnesium and calcium) of 2 to 4 mmol/L. At water hardness above 5 mmol/L, higher incidence of gallstones, kidney stones, urinary stones, arthrosis, and ...
