agree  Ken Cox: If this refers to an analytical method or the findings of analysis, 'compounds as xx' (in this case 'as Ca') can also mean 'expressed/stated in terms of the amount of xx contained in the compounds'.

disagree  Ken Cox: Highly unlikely in this context -- the references cited the peer comments on Jack's answer are convincing. 'Cpds' should actually be 'cpds' (no caps), but that's a minor point.

disagree  Steffen Walter: Irrelevant in the context provided (calcium).

disagree  Tony M: Extremely unlikely in the context as given, especially since there is a much simpler and more relevant solution
