Organic soil holds more water than non-organic soil. An article written by Lara Bryant for the expert blog component of the Natural Resources Defense Council website Wednesday, May 27, 2015, provides the math for the relationship between organic matter and water holding capacity increases. It states that a one percent increase in organic matter yields an increase by 21,668 gallons (82,022.30 liters).

Explain the term distribution coefficient in organic chemistry?
Well let's take an example that we have an a container with both oil and water in it these are inmiscible, know, let's say there is elemental iodine I2 in this container, iodine is nonpolar, so there will be more dissolved in the oil (an organic non polar solvent) than the water (a nonorganic polar solvernt). However, there will be a trace amount of iodine dissolved in the water. The distribution coefficient for this oil, we will say equals K. K=(concentration in mol/L of I2 in oil)/(concentration in mol/L of I2 in water) The distribution constant describes thr ration of iodine concentration in the organic layer to that in water.
Why are organic molecules that contain oxygen atoms more soluble in water?
Water is a polar molecule, polar molecules are more soluble in other polar molecules. Oxygen helps make organic molecules more polar, and therefore more soluble in water.
Why phenol does not dissolve in water when excess?
Phenol (C6H5OH) is more organic and is a covalent compound. The percentage of carbon is more compared to -OH (the polar part). Hence phenol will dissolve in organic solvents and not in water.
Is 1-naphthylamine is soluble in water?
Diphenylamine is only slightly soluble in water, but more soluble in polar organic solvents.
Do organic or inorganic compounds comprise more of the body?
The body is made mostly of organic compounds. The only abundant inorganic compound is water.
Pretend your research essay is about the positive effects of organic foods on heart health. Which information below must you cite?
A Organic fruits have 50 percent more antioxidants than nonorganic fruits.

Why water holding capacity of garden soil is more than road side soil?
because of more organic material mixed in garden soil which absorb and hold water as compare to road side soil.
Why do some soils hold more water than others?
yes, indrictly. the weight of the soil is a function of its composition meaning the percentage of: sand, silt, clay. the composition determines how much water it can hold. roughly the more clay it has the more water it can hold but at the same time it slows the rate of water absurbsion
Air has more capacity to hold water at what?
Air has more capacity to hold water when the air is warmer. The colder the air is, the less water it can hold.
Why does cold air hold more water?
It doesn't. Warm air can hold more water, as it has more energy to retain water in a gaseous state.
Why are organic molecules that contain oxygen atoms more soluble in water?
Water is a polar molecule, polar molecules are more soluble in other polar molecules. Oxygen helps make organic molecules more polar, and therefore more soluble in water.
Does water balloons hold more air than latex balloons?
yes,Water balloons hold more then latex
Is water organic and contain carbon?
No. Water is inorganic. It is composed of hydrogen and oxygen, nothing more.
Does warm air hold more water molecules?
Yes, warm air can hold more water (in the form of water vapor) than colder air.
Why phenol does not dissolve in water when excess?
Phenol (C6H5OH) is more organic and is a covalent compound. The percentage of carbon is more compared to -OH (the polar part). Hence phenol will dissolve in organic solvents and not in water.
What is it called when air can hold no more water vapour?
When air can hold no more water vapor, it is said to be Saturated. It has a Relative Humidity of 100%
