  2. Elemental analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elemental_analysis

    The analysis of results is performed by determining the ratio of elements from within the sample and working out a chemical formula that fits with those results. This process is useful as it helps determine if a sample sent is the desired compound and confirms the purity of a compound.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_tissue_test

    Any laboratory test (soil or tissue test) performed by a commercial company will cost the grower a fee. Laboratory tests take at least a week to complete, usually 2 weeks. It takes time to dry the samples, send them to the lab, complete the lab-tests, and then return the results to the grower.

  4. Biological tests of necessity and sufficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_tests_of...

    Biological tests of necessity and sufficiency refer to experimental methods and techniques that seek to test or provide evidence for specific kinds of causal relationships in biological systems. A necessary cause is one without which it would be impossible for an effect to occur, while a sufficient cause is one whose presence guarantees the ...

    EDS also helps to measure multi-layer coating thickness of metallic coatings and analysis of various alloys. The accuracy of this quantitative analysis of sample composition is affected by various factors. Many elements will have overlapping X-ray emission peaks (e.g., Ti K β and V K α, Mn K β and Fe K α). The accuracy of the measured ...

  6. Flame test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flame_test

    Flame test of a few metal ions. A flame test involves introducing a sample of the element or compound to a hot, non-luminous flame and observing the color of the flame that results. [4] The compound can be made into a paste with concentrated hydrochloric acid, as metal halides, being volatile, give better results. [5]

    Every plant requires a specific soil pH range within which it can best absorb essential nutrients. Because the optimal range is different for every plant, gardeners should learn the pH ...

  8. Houseplant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houseplant

    Selected houseplants are typically of healthy origin, with tidy leaves and upright stems. Houseplants which survive in conditions similar to a homeowner's living space will have a higher probability of survival. Tropical houseplants which grow under high thresholds of heat, for instance, will grow sun leaves which contain fewer chloroplasts.

  9. Geothermal activity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geothermal_activity

    Geysir, a geyser in Iceland, after which the phenomenon is named. [5] Geysers are the most well known hydrothermal feature. [citation needed] They occur when groundwater in underground cavities becomes superheated under a lid of colder surface water. When the superheated water breaches the surface, it flashes to steam, causing the pressure ...
