  2. Soil acidification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_acidification

    This compound causes rainfall pH to be around 5.0–5.5. When rainfall has a lower pH than natural levels, it can cause rapid acidification of soil. Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are precursors of stronger acids that can lead to acid rain production when they react with water in the atmosphere

  3. Soil pH - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_pH

    The pH is measured in soil-water (1:1) and soil-salt (1:2 ) solutions. For convenience, the pH is initially measured in water and then measured in CaCl 2 {\displaystyle {\ce {CaCl2}}} . With the addition of an equal volume of 0.02 M CaCl 2 {\displaystyle {\ce {CaCl2}}} to the soil suspension that was prepared for the water pH, the final soil ...

  4. Ammonium sulfate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonium_sulfate

    2 NH 3 + H 2 SO 4 → (NH 4) 2 SO 4. A mixture of ammonia gas and water vapor is introduced into a reactor that contains a saturated solution of ammonium sulfate and about 2% to 4% of free sulfuric acid at 60 °C. Concentrated sulfuric acid is added to keep the solution acidic, and to retain its level of free acid.

  5. Acid sulfate soil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid_sulfate_soil

    The Cr reduction method… is based on the conversion of reduced inorganic S to H 2 S by a hot acidic CrCl 2 solution; the evolved gas is trapped quantitatively in a Zn acetate solution as solid ZnS. The ZnS is then treated with HCl to release H 2 S into solution, which must then be quickly titrated with I 2 solution to the blue-coloured end ...

  6. Piranha solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piranha_solution

    A typical mixture is 3 parts of concentrated sulfuric acid and 1 part of 30 wt. % hydrogen peroxide solution; [1] other protocols may use a 4:1 or even 7:1 mixture. A closely related mixture, sometimes called "base piranha", is a 5:1:1 mixture of water, ammonia solution (NH 4 OH, or NH 3 (aq)), and 30% hydrogen peroxide.

  7. Neutralization (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutralization_(chemistry)

    pH = ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ pK w + ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ log (1 + ⁠ T A / K a ⁠) With a dilute solution of the weak acid, the term 1 + ⁠ T A / K a ⁠ is equal to ⁠ T A / K a ⁠ to a good approximation. If pK w = 14, pH = 7 + (pK a + log T A)/2. This equation explains the following facts: The pH at the end-point depends mainly on the strength of the ...

  8. Soil chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_chemistry

    Soil chemistry is the study of the chemical characteristics of soil.Soil chemistry is affected by mineral composition, organic matter and environmental factors. In the early 1870s a consulting chemist to the Royal Agricultural Society in England, named J. Thomas Way, performed many experiments on how soils exchange ions, and is considered the father of soil chemistry. [1]

  9. Lime sulfur - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lime_sulfur

    About 2.2:1 is the ratio (by weight) for compounding sulfur and quicklime; this makes the highest proportion of calcium pentasulfide. If calcium hydroxide (builders or hydrated lime) is used, an increase by 1/3 or more (to 115 g/L or more) might be used with the 192 g/L of sulfur. If the quicklime is 85%, 90%, or 95% pure, use 101 g/L, 96 g/L ...
