How does alkali help to treat acidic soil?
A soil is acidic because there are compounds within it which dissolve in water to form an acid. An acid is defined as a substance which readily gives out protons to oter molecules. An alkali is the converse, in that it is a proton acceptor and readily takes on protons. Treating an acidic soil with an alkali would neutralise the soil, and so the soil would become less acidic. If enough alkali is added, the soil will become neutral, and it will become alkaline if even more alkali is added.
What causes acid rain in Europe?
Acid Rain is more common in devolped countries as they create more air pollution and gases that can dissovle into the rain causing it to be acidic.
Why is it bad that the ocean is absorbing excess carbon dioxide in the air?
The oceans are becoming more acidic, harming coral and shellfish which are thus unable to produce strong shells.
Which soil is more acidic?
bwecause
What happens when too much CO2 enters the ocean?
They say that too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is the key factor that will make the oceans more acidic and imperil key parts of the marine food chain.
When the ocean abilty increases to absorb carbon dioxed declines resulting in more acidic ocean what specis is the most at risk in acidic water?
plankton
Why is the pH of the ocean more acidic at night?
because there are more Carbonic acid on the air at night (from the trees) and it is solved in water and make it acidic.
Which is the more common problem acidic or basic aquatic environments?
I suppose that the acidic aquatic environments (including ocean waters) are more common and dangerous.
How do you stop ocean acidification?
crack open lots of eggs and throw them in the ocean. OR the more blood in the ocean, the less acidic it is :) youre welcome

Is there a fear of climate change for the ocean?
The ocean doesn't have emotions like fear, but if it had, it might be asking, "Why am I getting warmer and more acidic?"yes
What is the difference in Ph of the ocean and Precipitation?
Ocean is more basic because of total dissoloved solids (TDS). with OH Ions. Perciciation is more acidic do to less (TDS) and more H+ ions.
How does diluting an acidic or basic solution affect the pH of the solution?
It depends on the pH of the dilutant. if the dilution substance is base the acidic solution will become less acidic moving toward neutral pH, the more it is diluted the less acidic it will become. A base solution will remain base or about 7 pH
Do greenhouse gases cause ocean pollution?
Yes. Oceans are becoming more acidic (carbonic acid).
Why does the ocean gain acid when glaciers melt?
Melting glaciers are associated with elevated levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide, and carbon dioxide dissolves in water to form carbonic acid, hence, the oceans become more acidic.
Why does acid rain affect using oil as a fuel?
The burning of oil and oil products (such as petroleum/gasoline) creates gases and pollutants which enter the atmosphere and change the pH of the rain water, causing it to become more acidic. The compounds, for example sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide change the pH of rain from neutral to acidic.
When the kidneys increase the excretion of bicarbonate the pH will?
ph will become elevated and blood will be more acidic
